Directadmin integration

[ckirby]

We have set up WHMCS with Directadmin integration. It seems to work as expected for creating new accounts from WHMSC but how can we import all of our existing Directadmin account sinto WHMSC? We have over 1,000 accounts and would like to avoid having to type them all in by hand. We also do not know what their passwords are so if this can be extracted from directadmin as well, even better.

 

Once all accounts are migrated into WHMSC, how does WHMSC keep track of domain changes in Directadmin? For example, if somebody adds a new domain inside of their Directadmin logon, will WHMSC know about it and be able to create an invoice for the new domain?

 

Is there any way to create invoices from the command prompt? Since whmsc does not support time based billing, we want to create an external unix script that will automatically extract the worked time from our time tracker application, add up the billable hours, and then create an invoice with whmsc.

 

On the client portal page, is there any way to hide any of the product groups that they are not using? For example, if we have a shared hosting account but no VPS services, we would to hide VPS from their subscribed product list.

 

Is there any way to disable the support ticket system in whmsc? We want to use the kayoko integration.

 

Using the whmsc panel, can a hosting client upgrade or downgrade their hosting package in directadmin?

 

Is there an ETA on when time-based billing will be added so we don't have to use two billing systems?

There is no import script from DirectAdmin and WHMCS does not track if someone creates domains inside their DirectAdmin login.

 

You can create invoices via the API if you need to from your external application. Just see the manual for instructions on how to use that.

Not a problem. Tracking new domains that are created inside of directadmin is not a big deal to us. What we would like however is for users to be able to upgrade (or downgrade) their directadmin hosting packages at anytime from whmcs. Does the directadmin integration do this?

 

Great news about being able to create invoices through an API. I will check it out this weekend.

 

Can you look over my other questions in this thread and let me know what your thoughts are? Most importantly, I would like to find out how we can add WHMCS to an existing Directadmin installation so that all DA users are added to WHMCS. I don't necessarily mind adding them by hand but I don't really know how to sync up the passwords. Is this possible?

but I don't really know how to sync up the passwords. Is this possible?

 

No its not possible. DirectAdmin uses one way encryption so it is not possible to sync the passwords. The encryption methods are different and its not possible to retrieve the DirectAdmin password. It can only be reset to whatever the client wants. You really don't need the DirectAdmin password anyway.

Just installed WHMCS and was hoping by now there would be some sort of directadmin user import script. ANy luck on this?

I was also wondering if WHMCS could have automatic provisioning. I have set it up but I get this error when a user signs up and pays:

 

An order has received its first payment but the automatic provisioning has failed and requires you to manually check & resolve.

 

I noticed there is no spot to put a username. Isn't that required?

well i was about to do the big switch from clientexec, but i would like to know the answer to a few of the questions raised about directadmin intergration, especially getting existing accounts into the system, manually doing this seems to defeat the automation theme of things, and over shadow the desire to upgrade, " An order has received its first payment but the automatic provisioning has failed and requires you to manually check & resolve." do we have an answer to this, i want to automate not do more work,, this maybe something simple, but iam looking to get more lazy, not more busy !
