Maybe we should create a dedicated topic to it here

Yes, this will be awesome.
Do you know if the code is available somewhere? I saw a lot of people asking but no reply from the @fagnerlins

[olivierlambert]

Nope, but maybe it's somewhere on the web?

Sorry for bumping, but there is now.

The WHMCS module is called: Xenica

[olivierlambert]

It's not Open Source?

[A Former User]

@olivierlambert Unfortunately not... It is paid 30 euros... I wished there was an open-source variant.

Thank you very much for the link

@fred974 Although I hope someone will be developping an open-source version of this one

There is several different ways that XenOrchestra and WHMCS could potentially interact.

Main Features of WHMCS
*Monthly Invoicing System for Hosting Companies
*Client Portal for Hosting Clients
*Auto-Provisioning/De-Provisioning features upon Order completion / Payment verification
*CRM, List of Accounts, Contacts Per Account, Contact Permissions/Functions
*Resouce Usage Billing

Since I already have my clients email addresses, and their contacts emails with password, I should be able to create an AUTH plugin atleast so that I dont need users to keep 2 sets of passwords?

I already have this working ... maybe it can be made into an auth plugin easily?

<?php
     	session_start();
        if(isset($_GET["email"]) && isset($_GET["password"]))
        {
                $_SESSION["email"] = $_GET["email"];
                $_SESSION["password"] = $_GET["password"];
        }
	if($_SESSION["email"] != "" && $_SESSION["password"] != "")
        {
                $url = "https://www.mywhmcs.net/includes/api.php"; # URL to WHMCS API file
                $username = "Russell"; # Admin username goes here
                $password = "russellspassword"; # Admin password goes here
                $postfields["username"] = $username;
                $postfields["password"] = md5($password);
                $postfields["action"] = "validatelogin";
                $postfields["email"] = $_SESSION['email'];
                $postfields["password2"] = $_SESSION['password'];

                $ch = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
                $data = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);

                $data = explode(";",$data);
                foreach ($data AS $temp) {
                  $temp = explode("=",$temp);
                  $results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];
                }
        }
	else
	{
                session_destroy();
        }
	$loggedIn = $results["result"] == "success";

I think there's already a WHMCS plugin out there for XO

Hmm maybe I don't remember exactly. Anyway, Xen Orchestra got an API, so it should be relatively easy to write your own plugin

[xerio]

For anybody that ends up on this old discussion regarding the Xenica WHMCS addon. It might be interesting to know that they charge $30 per month and it seems not to have been maintained in a very long time.
For vmware there is a suite of scripts with working examples, for Xen Orchestra we have the API set, but it would still be very beneficial to get the original plan of @olivierlambert in this blog post, back on track.

I could provide a WHMCS test setup, people for testing (agents of hosting companies), and participate as much as my limited programming skills allow

[olivierlambert]

We'll be happy to assist on what you need API wise to make it real
