Hi

I would like to be able to give my customers the chance to log into their control panel via the front page of my site. All they would have to do is fill in a short form (username/password)..

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks in advance...

Shot in the dark-
I KNOW I have done this before though.... it was in the form

http://username:[email protected]/cpanel
(or /controlpanel, or :2082, what have you)
At least I think.

I will play around with it............

:cool:

The problem is what happends when you have 2 servers or more. Then you have to tell the username password and server. And most clients don\'t know what server they are on.

Could you just not use \"customers_domain_name\" instead of server name. Although it would mean them filling in another box would get around the multi server problem..

Just a thought :]

I tried this and it didn't work, I think cpanel checks if a person logs in this way, but I was using PHP and the header function so, not sure...


&?php
if (!isset($user)) {
?&
&title&Control Panel Login&/title&
&body bgcolor=\&#000000\& text=\&#999999\& link=\&#999999\& vlink=\&#999999\& alink=\&#666666\&&
&div align=\&center\&&
&form name=\&login\& method=\&post\& action=\&login.php\&&
&/form&
&form name=\&form1\& method=\&post\& action=\&\&&
User:
&input type=\&text\& name=\&user\&&&br&
Pass:
&input type=\&password\& name=\&pass\&&&Br&
&input type=\&hidden\& name=\&action\& value=\&login\&&
&input type=\&submit\& name=\&Submit\& value=\&Submit\&&
&/form&
&/div&
&?
}

if ($action == \&login\&) {
$url = \&http://\&.$user.\&:\&.$pass.\&@www.aphosting.com:2082\&;
header(\&Location: $url\&);
exit;
}
?&

Domenico, [quote:5ce51a596b]Hmm, this last one works perfect for me...
[/quote:5ce51a596b]Do you mean you don\'t get the pop-up screen and it lets you enter the cpanel straight on? Have you made any changes to the script?

I still get the pop-up screen for some reason. :(

I found a neomail login Javascript page, and adapted it to work with Cpanel... You could make a pull down box to choose to go into WHM or Cpanel, just make another var for the port number....

Cpanel has a cvs file, that you can use to parse our the user/domain names from. Take this data daily, and dump it into a mysql database.

Then, on your main website, create a login function where the the user just types the username and password. The script can then look up the appropriate domain associated with that username, and redirect the user to:
https://user:[email protected]:2083

Please note, that this will work only if you have unique users. I DO NOT duplicate usernames, even across multiple servers.

This is probably an hour or two hour script. I\'d create it, but my admin duties right now for my job are consuming my time.

Can you tell us where that .cvs file is located?

You shouldn\'t use anything you want to keep secure from a cyber cafe.... You don\'t know if there might be key loggers installed on those machines..... No matter how you login, it gets the details....


Generally, if you want to access something securely, do it from your home box... No where else....

Hello

Why dont you ask the customer to enter his account name in a form and submet it, the cpanel will give a box asking for the user name and password of the account.

All what you are going to do is to redirect the user to hes cpanel URL
