ISPConfig Remoting Framework

- Add new clients and web sites automatically from your company's web site.
- Integrate ISPConfig easier in your existing server setups.
- Integrate ISPConfig in your billing system.
- Synchronize the client data in ISPConfig with your financiel software.

Installation

Installation of ISPConfig Remoting Plugin

Installation of ISPConfig Remoting Framework Beta

ISPConfig 2.3.0-dev or higher required.

1) Install the remoting extension in ISPConfig with the update manager.

2) Add a new remoting user in your ISPConfig.
The remoting extension adds a new item in Tools > Remoting > User.

The IP address is optional. If the IP address is set, this user can use the remoting functions only from this IP address.

Then check all checkboxes for functions that should be available for the user.

3) Copy the php scripts to a php enabled Webserver. PHP must be compiled with the CURL extension, otherwise it will not work!

4) Edit the test.php script.

Documentation

You will find example calls for all implemented functions in the test.php script. More detailed developer documentation will be available soon.
