Introduction

This document describes basic DotNetPanel Integration API that could be used in 3rd-party applications.

Requirements

· WSE 3.0 or Basic Authentication

Calling DotNetPanel Web Service from PHP

The following sample code adds a new user to DotNetPanel database. NuSOAP library is used to work with web services from PHP:

<?php

require_once ("nusoap/lib/nusoap.php");

/* Set address of Enterprise Server web service */

$dnp = new soapclient('http://127.0.0.1:9002/esUsers.asmx?WSDL', true);

$dnp->soap_defencoding = 'utf-8';

/* Set credentials - this is DotNetPanel login*/

$dnp->setCredentials("serveradmin", "serveradmin");

/* specify method parameters */

$param = array("username" => "serveradmin");

/* call web method */

$result = $dnp->call('UserExists', array('parameters' => $param),

'http://officepark/dotnetpanel/enterpriseserver',

'http://officepark/dotnetpanel/enterpriseserver/UserExists');

/* process results */

if ($dnp->fault) {

echo '<h2>Fault </h2><pre>'; print_r($result); echo '</pre>';

} else {

$err = $dnp->getError();

if ($err) {

echo '<h2>Error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';

} else {

echo '<h2>Result</h2><pre>'; print_r($result); echo '</pre>';

}

echo '<h2>Request</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($dnp->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

echo '<h2>Response</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($dnp->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

echo '<h2>Debug</h2><pre>' . htmlspecialchars($dnp->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
