Active Directory provisioning add-on

[Dazlat]

Hi All,

 

I'm very interested in getting a quote from someone to build an Active Directory add-on rather than us using a 3rd party provisioning tool that needs to be integrated into WHMCS.

 

All of our customer accounts are stored in various trees in AD. The services (mail etc) query AD groups as to whether the user had permission to use the service.

 

Example:

Customer purchases an email service via WHMCS portal: customer has option to use either one of our shared domains, route their existing domain to our servers or purchase a new domain (via enom for example).

AD is queried as to whether the requested email address is free. If so and purchase of the service is completed, WHMCS add-on pushes provisioning request into AD. AD account is then created and stores all of the customer entered data (name/address/tel. request quota, email address etc etc).

We have a manual process to add domains into our systems. At present we use this as a valuable human intervention security checking mechanism and have no immediate plans to automate.

 

If the account needs to be removed/suspended via WHMCS (for example, customer wishes to stop their service or they fail to settle their account following repeated reminders), command needs to be able to be pushed into AD to disable their account.

 

Happy to discuss in further detail.

 

Timeline to implement - as soon as satisfactory scope/quote agreed.

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Darren

If there is no API or a way to send the request from WHMCS to AD then it will be hard to implement what you are requesting.

According to Don from WHMCS Support, there are the hooks available to accomplish this. The module or add-on just needs to be written to leverage them.
