Can I encrypt/hash my cP password? (API2)

[KuroiNekoDev]

Hi, I'm creating a little system for manage email accounts but due some people can access to our server (ftp), can I hash/encrypt or something to my cP password?

I'm using the XML-API class (I found it on GitHub) and the functions available for API 2


(btw, I know this will be deprecated after the WHM/CP 70, but I want to finish it and later update to UAPI because it was taking a lot of time make it and update it will be modify a lot of codes.)

Hello,

You may want to consider using the Single Sign-On feature:

Guide to API Authentication - Single Sign On - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Or, since you have reseller access, you could setup your custom script on a separate account that no other users have access to.

Thank you.

Another question... I use eleven2 hosting, and they set in their Firewall for temporally block the user IP when it reach 25 connections at the same time... How can I close my connection after one request to the API for avoid that?

You generally shouldn't have to do anything special unless your PHP script isn't exiting properly. That's more of a PHP development question. You are likely to receive more feedback to that type of question on a website such as StackOverflow.

That page is only accessible after you've spent some as an active user on the cPanel Forums (e.g. reached a certain number of posts).

Thank you.
