IPMI API for Dedicated server for whmcs


rahulkg

Question

We need a IPMI API /module or script that will work in our WHMCS.

The goal is to allow an IP to use his server IPMI because we will block all IPs by default and by using his whmcs server profile. He will have an option to enter his IP and allow IPMI access. Is it possible, can you advice us in this matter.

Hello,

There is some solutions for you:

  • Use the IPMI API. This implies that you need to develop your own WHMCS module for the IPMI.
  • Put the IPMI behind a firewall. This is the proper solution if your IPMI doesn't have API to control IP whitelist.
  • Use page crawling to configure your IPMI inside the WHMCS module. This is a very bad solution as your the program will load each page of your IPMI as "human", any (very) small change on your IPMI interface may broke all your WHMCS module. And this solution might not work if you IPMI interface is relying on JavaScript.
  • Allow only access to IPMI inside a VPN. Then, your WHMCS module role is to issue configuration file (.ovpn for example) to access to your VPN network.
  • Put IPMI under a remote desktop session. Then, your WHMCS module role is to create/initiate a remote desktop session.

However, in all these solutions, you have to develop a customized module.
