You could have the user/pass in a database, then the button redirects the page to the WHM, and the page that redirects to WHM creates a $_POST in the background of the user's session and logs in for them.
Or it could just redirect to http://1.2.3.4:2086/ and it'll prompt them for their user/pass.

We have a new module for this:
http://httpupdate.cpanel.net/cpanelsync/EDGE/cpanel/Cpanel/LogMeIn.pm
This will allow you to query a server for a URL that allows the client to log directly into cPanel. The URL is good for a single use and the session is destroyed once the URL is clicked on. There's a sample script after __END__ in the module which shows a simple way to redirect them, by printing the URL directly as the location to their browser.
This module is currently only available in EDGE builds but will make its way to other builds soon.

Thank you,

You'll need to download the module from the link above to /usr/local/cpanel/Cpanel/LogmeIn.pm
Then you can interact through the module with your login script. Something like this:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use lib '/usr/local/cpanel';
use Cpanel::LogMeIn ();
my $user = '__USERNAME__'; #or lookup from your records
my $pass = '__PASSWORD__'; #or lookup from your records
my $host = '__HOSTNAME__'; #or lookup from your records
my $service = 'cpanel'; #or whm or webmail to access those interfaces
my($login_ok,$login_message,$login_url) = Cpanel::LogMeIn::get_loggedin_url('user'=>$user,'pass'=>$pass,'hostname'=>$host,'service'=>$service,'goto_uri'=>'/');
if ($login_ok) {
print "Location: $login_url\r\n\r\n";
} else {
print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n";
print "LOGIN FAILED: $login_message\n";
}
exit (0);This script above will output a secure URL that can be used only once to login. If you're looking for a login form instead, you can use this example: http://www.cpanel.net/cpanel-login.phps

I was wondering if it is possible to log a user in.. without knowing the password. following is the possible scenario:
1. User visits our website and logs in (using his email/account id and password, it's not same as the cpanel login)
2. now, user has more then one account on our server and I want to log them in.. without the the password prompt for cpanel..
PS: I don't want to end up creating a password database.. since that'll be useless if user changed the password from cpanel..
Well, of the top of my head - it's not going to be possible to log a user in without knowing the password (at this time).
You will have to keep a password database, however we do have hooks so this database can be kept up to date.
WritingFunctionHooks < DevHooks < TWiki
That being said, I am never an advocate of keeping a password database
Also, are you wanting this for JUST WHM or for cPanel and webmail as well?
If it's just WHM.. you could use accesshashes to log the user in.

The wiki sample branded login
SampleBrandedLogin < AllDocumentation < TWiki
shows a good way of taking a username/email address/pass from within a client-accessed area of your site and passing that to a cPanel service. I found this a bit simpler than using the Perl module.

The reason behind asking for this function is that we sell domain names as well as web hosting and we want to be able to allow users to login to cpanel by just one click? i.e. a url that can be use once to login to cpanel. User will be already logged into our website, before we give them this url, hence there is no need to authenticate the user twice.
thanks for all, i got how to login with onclick login button in my custom dashboard .
and could you please tell me how to create a cpanel account through my custom dashbord ?

@goodlifeclt - you likely would want to utilize the cPanel API tools to create a new account. I'd recommend reading through the details here to get started as this is our creatacct API:
