[NOT A BUG] API password

[ArtemZ]

API function encryptpassword returns invalid value

 

Please, fix it

It is working fine. The password result will be different each time.

Okay (also sorry for double thread),

but then how can I check user entered password with your api?

[ArtemZ]

Also, getclientpassword working strange. Easy example:

$postfields["username"] = $admin;

$postfields["password"] = md5($admin_password);

$postfields["action"] = "getclientpassword";

// $postfields["password2"] = '12345';

$postfields["userid"] = "101";

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

echo $data;

$data = explode(";",$data);

foreach ($data AS $temp) {

$temp = explode("=",$temp);

$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];

}

if ($results["result"]=="success") {

echo "<br>".$results['password2'];

} else {

echo "Sorry, our interface down! Please, send this to our support: ".$results["message"];

}

Returns

result=success;password=d01578ef252d6f9248bce9df24ea3ce9:OBYrU

But as I can see in documentation it should return

password2 - the password of the users account

http://wiki.whmcs.com/API:Get_Clients_Password

but it returns 'password'

but then how can I check user entered password with your api?

It's hosting passwords encrypted this way not client passwords but to compare you would use the decryptpassword on the encrypted value and compare the plain text versions.

 

I can see in documentation it should return password2

It has always returned as password. I will update the docs.

Okay, thank you. Especially for new changes in API documentation:)
