update 1 subdomain record remotely?

Is it possible to update 1 subdomain record?

Situation
mydomain.ext hosted dedicated with ispconfig running on it

home.mydomain.ext is a dynamic ip with a rpi ; I want to update this record when the ip changes.

 

Thank you for your reply. I can't get it working.
I've created a remote user with username myuser and pass myit pass
Checkbox on for Remote Access
Remote Access IPs / Hostnames (separate by , and leave blank for any): empty
and allow
DNS zone functions
DNS a functions

If I open the page in the browser I see

Code:

SOAP Error: Could not connect to host

When adding

Code:

'stream_context'=> stream_context_create(array('ssl'=> array('verify_peer'=>false,'verify_peer_name'=>false))),

I see this

Code:

login_failedThe login failed. Username or password wrong. SOAP Error: The login failed. Username or password wrong.

I'm sure username and password are correct. Even tried it without strange chars.

Browsing the remote url shows an empty page, as it should.

Code:

<?php

require 'soap_config.php';


$client = new SoapClient(null, array('location' => $soap_location,
        'uri'      => $soap_uri,
        'trace' => 1,
        'exceptions' => 1));


try {
    $session_id = $client->login($username, $password);
    echo 'Logged successfull. Session ID:'.$session_id.'<br />';
    echo "Logging out: ";
    $client->logout($session_id);
    echo "Logged out.";


}catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo $client->__getLastResponse();
    die('SOAP Error: '.$e->getMessage());
}

?>

 

Using Internet search engines with

Code:

site:howtoforge.com api login

Finds threads with example code connecting to API.

 

are trying to tell me the examples mentioned by @till aren't wrking? code is copy paste from login example

 

hi, thanks again for your reply.
When using the curl code it works. And on an other server it is working ok. So it looks like there is something wrong with the server. Not a problem for now as it is working from an other site.

Is it possible to limit a remote user to change only for specific domain/dns record?

 

ok, thanks again for the reply. Would be a nice item in the future

After update the ip with

Code:

$dns_record['data'] = <newip>
$affected_rows = $client->dns_a_update($session_id, $client_id, $id, $dns_record);

is it necessary to update timestamp and serial as well or is this automatically done?

 

Just to be sure:
only update zone serial , not the serial in dns record ?
