using the REST API

Hi,
I am trying to use the examples given by Till at https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/rest-api-examples.79889/ but i cannot even login to the API to get the session id. I get the response :

Code:

{"code":"remote_fault","message":"The login failed. Username or password wrong.","response":false}

I am just using the ispconfig admin interface login and password, right ? or should I use something else?
thanks,
Panagiotis

 

great! thanks!

 

sorry to come back.
so, what I am trying is to create txt records for letsencrypt as my requirements are specific.
however, I run into the same problem that the acme.sh developers run into at https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/2696
when I call the dns_txt_add API, I get the error:

Code:

{u'message': u"Incorrect integer value: '' for column `dbispconfig`.`dns_rr`.`sys_userid` at row 1 INSERT INTO `dns_rr` (`server_id`, `zone`, `name`, `type`, `data`, `ttl`, `active`, `stamp`, `serial`, `sys_userid`, `sys_groupid`, `sys_perm_user`, `sys_perm_group`, `sys_perm_other`) VALUES ('1', 'ZONEID', '_acme-challenge.whateverdomain.', 'txt', 'whatevervalue', '60', 'y', '2021-01-08 17:24:15', '2020122803', '', '', 'riud', 'riud', '')", u'code': u'remote_fault', u'response': False}

have the parameters of the call changed from what is in the documentation?
thanks, Panagiotis

 

if I am not mistaken the client_id is the sys_userid returned from dns_zone_get ? at least the acme.sh does the same.

 

thanks. but how should i get it from the API ? I just want to create a txt record for a zone.

 

See client_get_by_username() and client_get_id(). So your pattern is to login to get a session ID, then use that session ID with the user name to get the client ID, then use the client ID to perform other functions.

 

thanks Tony. That works now.

 

I have a similar problem, using pfsense and the acme plugin.
The acme plugin's DNS-ISPConfig script issues a dns_zone_get and sets the client id from the returned "sys_userid":"x" which appears to be incremented by 1.
The first time it issues a "dns_txt_add" it works but this results in the client id being modified by +1. All following calls to "dns_txt_add" fail becouse "dns_zone_get" now returns an invalid "sys_userid"

I am using ISPConfig 3.2.2 and pfsense acme plugin version 0.6.9_3
I will try and change the script to use client_get_id() and see what happens.

 

Thanks Till, Yeah thats the thing it CAN be totally different number but depending on your own Client layout it can be the same.
I think the writers of that script have fallen into this trap, like my previous server there client_id must have matched there sys_userid.

The strange thing is if you follow the link in post number 4, it links to https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/issues/2705 where someone reports this problem and posts a fix, the fix is discussed, confirmed to work and then stated it will be included.
That was in Jan 2020 but it has still not made it to the release.

I made the suggested changes and it has fixed the problem. The fix issues a "client_get_id"

Thanks for your good work
Paul
