[SOLVED] Where to start

[FuzzyFace]

I want to hook ConnectWise into our network edition install of Zimbra (mostly to watch and update calendars with jobs), but have no idea where to start. I was thinking of just learning SOAP straight up and then translating that over to Zimbra web services, but I can't seem to find much in the way of a simple, high level explaination of the authentication and request structure at all outside of Zimlets. Is there an API doc with examples rather than all the step by step stuff that the wiki offers?

All the SOAP API docs are in the /opt/zimbra/docs folder on your server.


If you can read and understand PHP you could take a look at

SourceForge project :- "Z-Push Zimbra Backend"
Z-Push Zimbra Backend

Look in zimbra.php, and in particular for function Logon.

You can see how the SOAP headers/messages are constructed, and how the authorization token and session ID are returned in the XML response. The code uses a parser to turn the XML into an array for easier handling. There is a function further down SoapRequest that actually issues the curl command.

Hope that helps a little.

Sweet. Thanks for that
