Add / update / delete servers through ezeelogin API
How to add/delete/update servers in GUI using Ezeelogin API
An API script is provided for automating server add/edit/delete tasks in Ezeelogin. With the help of this script, you can integrate Ezeelogin with any 3rd party application managing your clients/customers. Also, make sure to enable API.
The API script can be executed as:
[email protected]:~# php /usr/local/ezlogin/ezwapi.php [params...]
For Help
[email protected]:~# php /usr/local/ezlogin/ezwapi.php -help
Usage:
ezwapi.php -help <action>
action : API action (add_server/update_server/remove_server/reset_fingerprint/add_user_server_acl)
1. Add Server
[email protected]:~# php /usr/local/ezlogin/ezwapi.php -help add_server
Usage:
ezwapi.php add_server -api_url <API URL> -secret <API secret> -name <hostname> -description <description> -password <password> -ip_address <IP address> -group <group> [-ssh_port <port>] [-ssh_user <username>] [-keep_password <Y/N/S>]
[-enable_ssh <Y/N/H>] [-cp <control panel>]

The below example shows how to add a Server in GUI with the remote ssh user as 'root'
[email protected]:~# php /usr/local/ezlogin/ezwapi.php add_server -api_url http://10.11.1.137/ezlogin -secret [email protected]#$! -name test.noc.com -description desctest -ssh_user root -password test123 -ip_address 10.11.1.138 -group test -enable_ssh Y -keep_password S
Special characters password can be saved using API with single quotes.
eg: -password '??r&5Q*gyKc6nGAE()'
The example below shows how to add a server in GUI when the remote ssh user is non-privileged user 'admin'
How will I find the prompts for the ssh_user?
The easiest way to find the prompt1 is to ssh as the user directly into the server. The prompts may vary depending on the remote OS in use. For example, when the remote machine is Centos 5.6,7, the login prompts when a non-root user logs in are
[[email protected] ~]$ cd /home
Here the unique string that remains permanent are "]$ ". Note that there are 3 characters including space.
For Ubuntu 14,16 ,18
[email protected]:~$ cd /home
Here the unique string that remains permanent are the characters "cd:".
To find prompt2, simply run su - as a non root user.
[[email protected] home]$ su -
Password:
The prompt 2 or the unique string that remains permanent would be "rd:"
The prompt 3 would be how the root prompt looks like
[[email protected] home]#
Above the unique characters that is permanent are "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" etc.
