Form Based cPanel Login (after IE fix)
As you know because of a recent IE patch the old form based cPanel logins directing to a url such as http://user:password@domain.com no longer work for most people.
cPanel have added a built in form to cPanel 9.0 so you just need to send the values "user" and "pass" to that form and away you go.
You can post the values to any of the following:
http://yourdomain.com:2082/login/ (cPanel)
https://yourdomain.com:2083/login/ (secure cPanel)
http://yourdomain.com:2095/login/ (webmail)
https://yourdomain.com:2096/login/ (secure webmail)
Here's a little script you're welcome to use if you like, that gives people the choice of all four logins.
1. save this as cplogin.php (edit the line with your domain or ip)
PHP Code:
<html>
<?php
#your domain or ip
$domain = "yourdomain.com";
if(!$_POST['login']) {
exit;
}
$user = $_POST['user'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$port = $_POST['port'];
$port == "2083" || $port == "2096" ? $pre = "https://" : $pre = "http://";
?>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('document.forms[0].submit();',10)">
<form action="<?php echo "".$pre."".$domain.":".$port."/login/"; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="user" value="<?php echo $user; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="pass" value="<?php echo $pass; ?>">
</form>
</body>
</html>
2. Then the form to use on your site
Code:
<form action="cplogin.php" method="post">
<table cellspacing="4" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td>Username:</td><td><input type="text" name="user"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type="password" name="pass"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Login To:</td>
<td align="right">
<select name="port">
<option value="2082">cPanel</option>
<option value="2083">Secure cPanel</option>
<option value="2095">Webmail</option>
<option value="2096">Secure Webmail</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right" colspan="2">
<input type="submit" name="login" value="login" style="cursor:pointer">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
This should work for most browsers, but remember you need to be running cPanel 9.0 or above.

login.php also works on most CPanel installations.
Give me a couple hours to get home, and I will approve this.

A little update that somebody requested.
If you add this line in cplogin.php below the line that starts $post == "2083" then people can login to webmail accounts without having to put the full domain name:
e.g: somebody with john@somereallylongdomain.com can just put the username as "john" or use "john@somereallylongdomain.com" either will work, currently you need to use name@domain.com
PHP Code:
$port == "2095" || $port == "2096" && !eregi("@", $user) ? $user = "".$user."@".$domain."" : $user = $user;
* edit, it's one line copy + paste, the forum breaks it into two.

Hi Loon, I tried to install your script and it didn't work. I am using cPanel - 9.1.0-RELEASE 52. It takes me to a page "Access Denied" with a form for login where I can type my user name and password. But typing username and password in the 'Access denied" form is not a good way to go. I am hoping to get some lead from you...
Thank you in advance

There's no reason it shouldn't work, it'll take you to an access denied page if you have the username or pass wrong, just the same as it would logging in the regular way.
If you're trying to log into webmail you need to use username@domain.com as the username unless you made the edit and added the extra line i posted.
Other than that just double check you have the domain right in cplogin.php and make sure there's no http:// or www at the beginging.

Hi Loon, thank you for your reply. I can create a new account with IP address and you can find it by yourself. I tried many different ways but nothing seems to work. Please email me at: infoquest@bellsouth.net. I will send you the new accounts details in reply of your email.

Are you sure you changed the domain variable??
Someone requested this change over at the cpanel forums.

One small question, how can we change it so that customers have to enter their domain name? Many of our customers have their own IP.
|
Change the code to this :
EDIT : I'm not allowed to post urls so to show you the code I've attached a text file.
