API for adding new users remotely

[webawere]

Hi,

Perhaps I missed it but is there some kind of API available since I want to add access to installatron from my remote administration system.

Regards,
Michel

There's no API, it requires one of the supported control panels.

Row.

But I don't want all my users to access installatron. I add users to DA with an API and I also want to determine that way if they can access Installatron.

Hi,

To automatically add new users to an Access Group when they're added to your server, you can use this script:

Code: Select all

<?php

$d = unserialize(file_get_contents("/home/admin/.installatron/.groups"));

foreach ( array_keys($d) as $i )
{
        if ( $d[$i]["label"] === $argv[1] )
        {
                $d[$i]["for"][$argv[2]] = true;
                break;
        }
}

$fp = fopen("/home/admin/.installatron/.groups","w");
flock($fp,2);
fwrite($fp,serialize($d));
fclose($fp);

?>

In that code, /home/admin/.installatron/.groups needs to be the path to your admin's .group data file. For DirectAdmin, the preset value is likely correct.

You can call this script from shell:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php -c /usr/local/installatron/etc/php.ini -f
/path/to/addtogroup.php 'group1' 'newuser1'

The above would add the domain or user named newuser1 to the Access Group labeled group1.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Phil
