cslinux Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi, I've cPanel "change password" disabled currently, I'm asking if there's a way to sync the whmcs password when a client change his password from cpanel ? That's because when client have the option to change it from cpanel. the whmcs account's password remain the same which cause issues later. Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sel_888 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I wholeheartedly would like to know the answer to this one as well. nothing worse than forcing a client's password to "reset" if you needed to get into their Cpanel if they had changed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted March 2, 2011 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted March 2, 2011 There isn't. I'd be worried if cPanel allowed external applications to access user's password. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeqution Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I dont think there would be any way of WHMCS to be able to retrieve the "current" cPanel password, this cannot even be done via cPanel, the level on encryption and security that goes into place will not allow you to retrieve the current cPanel password unless you may be running a really old version of cPanel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with cPanel. The passwords in cPanel are actually system passwords and are stored in /etc/shadow and is not reversible. Because of this, there is no way to retrieve or "sync" the passwords. What would work is a custom WHMCS module that alerts a user to change their password every xx days. If they don't you it can reset their password to a random password and send them an email to login to WHMCS to update their cPanel password. If you also remove the "Password Change" feature from your user's feature set in cPanel, you can pretty much force the users to change their password via WHMCS which will ensure the password stored in WHMCS for cPanel is always correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsiedsma Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I actually forgot all about it. I don't know that I will create a module for this, it was only an idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
