validatelogin api

[mattmc]

I'm trying to build a custom validatelogin url to validate a user. I've taken the curl example from the 'API Example' on the documentation page changed the "action" postfield to contain "validatelogin" along with other required settings. The only response I can get is "Authentication Failed". I've tried all forms of usernames/email addresses and I've even tried encrypting the password (md5) and still nothing. Does anybody have any insight?

 

 

$url = http://www.mydomain.com/whmcs/includes/api.php;

$postfields["action"] = "validatelogin";

$postfields["email"] = "testusername";

$postfields["password2"] = "testpassword";

 

$results["result"] == error and the message is "Authentication Failed"

 

 

yes...I've created a valid account as well

Sorry, I forgot to include the admin username and md5(admin password) in the postfields

 

 

It should be like this

 

$postfields["action"] = "validatelogin";

$postfields["username"] = "admin_username";

$postfields["password"] = md5("admin_password");

$postfields["email"] = "email_address_of_user_to_authenticate";

$postifleds["password2"] = "password_the_user_supplied";

Did you ever get this fully working?

I'm currently experiencing that connecting via curl is making the validation return the incorrect password hash, due to the fact it's using the servers IP address, not the clients IP address?

Is there any other ways of connecting to the API that you know of?

Thanks

Go to your WHMCS/admin and navigate to api to create the identifier and secrete that is what whmcs will use to authenticate your domain with user
