PHPCore Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hello Everyone, I'm not the best at programming but here is a short little module to get the job done. What it does it let you ask a customer for the answer to their security question ("PIN"), You can then go to the module, input the customer number, as well as the answer you were given (case sensitive). It will then tell you if it is valid or not. OR instead of entering the answer you were given you could enter the "Supervisor Password" you entered in the configuration..... It will then output the real answer that belongs to the customer PIN Verification.zip I know this isn't the best.... but it works. Please let me know how you like it. Feel free to do whatever you wish with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedigeeks-Sean Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Sounds good, I could not get this to work on a test version, kept saying INVALID IP address from the module itself. So not really sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not really sure. Remember this is using WHMCS API so you need to whitelist your server IP for the API. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3connect Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hey I wanted to say that the overall idea of this is great. I worked at a very large well known hosting company and a customer could use their PIN to verify. I jsut wanted to ask some things. First as far as the PIN that this checks, is that the security question field thats in add client area? I went to my dropdown on security questions and there is none, so if the answer that is put in for this is what your addon checks then I will add in a question, but maybe there is someway that you could have it ( or least mention directions in your readme ) for there to actually be just a required field in the registration form to enter a PIN. Also instead of this being accessed by going to addons area, maybe find a way that this is added to the clients profile / billing page. This would be like when I worked at the large hoster, that it was at the top right, and actually there, they had it as a field and until you entered the correct answer it would show up red, then green when it was right. This is good to have for companies that have quite a few people workin for them or even just a couple as if this is the info needed to verify, and someone that worked for you found out a customers info that maybe they didnt agree with tehir sites content or it was a pay site etc, they could call or chat in and verify easily or if got fired they could then use that info for malicious purposes. I apologize for the length of this post but I hope it helps you further develope this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also instead of this being accessed by going to addons area, maybe find a way that this is added to the clients profile / billing page. I will provide an updated version of this module soon with this included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHPCore Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Here is the updated script, Please note that the name and authors name have completely changed to reflect our current project. I have included some documentation on how to use it, including how to include it on the client summary. acctsec.zip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
