Multiple Accounts 1 CP URL?

[Silverbug]

Actually to be honest Ive only had one, who insisted that his site not use cookies, not that it needed to anyway. mind you he runs a computer foresnics company so thats probably why.

[Brangwyn]

Yeah at the end of the day cookies are pretty darn harmless if used for the purpose they were intended. Never store anything in them that would be considered sensitive information in clear text and you should be fine imo.

[bootNumlock]

you know i haven't either--people shitty about cookies. [hey it's kinda fun to type shitty] but to read everything by every usability and privacy expert on the web cookies are a tool of the beast!

i confess, i use them all the time--hell we even track usage with them on one of our sites.

guess i'm goin' to hell...

[Silverbug]

lol yep, theres no hope for you now bootnumlock

[Brangwyn]

Doomed I tell ya ... doomed !!

I am reposting this on this thread , as landiserve informed me I may have been"a little bit off topic"
Hey Brangwyn,
I converted your asp code for multiple cp login to php,(someone else may have already done this) but I got a couple problems. One being I can't test it well because I do not have 2 cps. Two I am not sure where you were using it location wise. Are you putting it with the cp directory or Are you pointing it elsewhere? It looks ok, but I have just started playin with php and it could be a mess for all I know. Can I see where you are using the script? Thanks.

[Brangwyn]

I'm just running the script off my domain actually as a regular page, no need to put it anywhere special at all.

if you are not over the total number of accounts in your plan. make a nobilling plan to test. That will give you a second control panel. Once you are done your testing, delete the extra account.

Hey Brangwyn,

I've been using your great code since you posted it and truly appreciate you sharing with us. I'm far from an asp coder. Any chance of modifying it to include the lost password feature for those who unsuccessfully login and need a little help. Of course pulling from all applicable login URL's.

Willing to trade code for tutorials if that is of any interest to you.

Thanks

[Brangwyn]

If I remember correctly the lost password function (unlike logging in to the CP) doesn't check the referrer URL is correct, so you could just place a link to any of your accounts lost password links and it should work ok for them.

[cleonard]

Hmm, never even thought that would be the case. I'll give it a whirl . . . thanks so much!!

I've mentioned my custom reseller app that keeps track of everything for me before. I recently added the ability to automatically pull new account notifications from POP3 rather than continuously adding them manually.

I just set up a mailbox, added it to "Notification Recipients", enabled Spam Assasin, and configured it to delete everything not from my support address.

This type of app could very easily populate a DB that allows the redirecting from a login page on your site.

Additionally once the XML API is supported by Vortech (It's no longer listed as beta on PSoft's site, and I've actually gotten a couple bug fix promises from them for v2.4.3 on the forums) you could use that without storing customer IDs in a DB. Although there's no method of retrieving all reseller accounts; you could use getAccounts against their login name using your reseller accounts as an authToken bean.

anybody still using Brangwyn's multiple reseller account login script? - http://www.kiwihosting.net.nz/uploads/CPLogin.txt - or have something similar?
I tired to get it working on nt25 and nt17 and got a - HTTP 405 - Resource not allowed Internet Information Services Error - ASP resource is turned on in the control panel?

[cleonard]

This is what I'm using for 3 control panels . . . and it works fine. If I remember correctly I had to butcher the original B code because hsphere changes some of the error messages or something like that.

If Request.Form("submit") <> "" then
'------------------------------------------
' Enter your list of control panels in the
' following array
' Enter as many URL's as you require

'-------------------------------------------------------------
'            Here comes the real work !
' For each control panel in the array try and log the user on

Set objXMLHTTP = SErver.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
For i = 0 to ubound(arrControlPanelURL)
strURL =  arrControlPanelURL(i) & strPostURL & "&login=" & strUserName & "&password=" & strUserPassword
objXMLHTTP.Open "POST", strURL , False
objXMLHTTP.Send
strReturn = objXMLHTTP.ResponseText
If instr(1, strReturn, "Username or password is invalid", 1) = 1 then ' Correct Password ?
strErrorMsg = "Incorrect password, please try again."
Exit For ' get the heck out of here
End If
If Instr(1, strReturn, "Username or password is invalid", 1) = 0 then ' Find the User ?
bolLogin = True
strErrorMsg = ""
Exit For ' no point hanging around any longer
Else
bolLogin = False
strErrorMsg = "Username or password is invalid."
End if
Next
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
If bolLogin then
strReturn = Replace(strReturn, "/psoft/", arrControlPanelURL(i) & "/psoft/")
Dim intStart, intEnd, intLength
intStart = instr(1, strReturn, "URL=", 1)
intStart = intStart + 4
intEnd = instr(intStart, strReturn, """", 1)
intLength = intEnd - intStart - 1 ' remove extra char to cater for the trailing "/"
strURL =  Mid(strReturn, intStart, intLength) & "?action=login&ftemplate=design/login.html&login=" & strUserName & "&password=" & strUserPassword    
Response.Redirect strURL
End if
End if
