pleasee can someone help with this, its just a url, surely somebody knows what it is

[nobaloney]

Do you mean something like:

https://example.com/login.php?username=foo&password=bar ?

If so, then it doesn't exist.

If not, then please explain what you mean.

Hey,

DA logins are generally via port 2222. (That's configurable so, it could change depending on the hoster.)

The login screen for the server is generally found like so:

http://www.example.com:2222

A kink is thrown in when one uses SSL on the server for secure logins. Naturally, then it would be https:// in the above URL.

Also, sometimes folks may decide to make it easier on their customers by making it a URL sonething like this:

https://www.example.com/login

So, the login is obviously not set in stone.

Here's a link to DA's API stuff:

In the Quick Links you'll also find a link to a PHP Class that Phil wrote.

Hope that helps.

what i want is a url that automatically inputs username and password and then continues the login, so like cpanel is https://username:password@domain.com:2087

[cdoverlaw]

yeah i mean sumthin like
https://example.com/login.php?username=foo&password=bar
are you sure this is not possible, all other control panels have this, its a php form so it shud be possible to make a url that fills it in and then hits login

It's https://hostname:2222/CMD_LOGIN or http://hostname:2222/CMD_LOGIN, but it'll only take POST variables. I just tested using:


https://hostname:2222/CMD_LOGIN?referer=%2F&username=xxxxxx&password=xxxxxxxxx

...and it didn't work. Needs to be POST variables.

hmm their must be away round this, i need it to add support to directadmin to my software

You can't make your php script use post? As that seems to be the only solution until (if) DA implements this.

[cdoverlaw]

its not php it is a desktop pc application,

[l0rdphi1]

Use sockets to fake a post query to /CMD_LOGIN.

[cdoverlaw]

how would i do that?

[l0rdphi1]

What programming language are you programming in? =)

Phi1.

[cdoverlaw]

visual basic .net

This looks to do basically what you're after:

(I googled for 'visual basic .net open URL POST method')

However, I personally can't help much here; I never bothered to learn VB.

Good luck.

Not learning VB was probably a good thing, Phi1, since most of us who did were left completely out in the cold with all the changes when they moved to VB.NET.
