php CreateAccountRequest via SOAP

[bookatechie]

This is the correct soap request to create a new user

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap:Header>
<context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
<authToken>authToken goes here</authToken>
</context>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<CreateAccountRequest xmlns=\"urn:zimbraAdmin\">
<name>test@mydomain.com</name>
<password>myverystrongpassword</password>
</CreateAccountRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I got a php page that will create this except the conetxt section with the authToken. This is what I got so far but it doesnt work.

$soapHeader = new SoapHeader('urn:zimbra',
'context',
new Context(
array(
new SoapParam($authToken['authToken'], 'authToken'),
)));

$soapClient->__setSoapHeaders($soapHeader);


This gives me the following error...

Uncaught SoapFault exception: [soap:Client] no valid authtoken present

Does anyone know what the correct php syntax is to create the content section?


Thank you!

There are two problems with this example, first - CreateAccountRequest is in namespace zimbraAdmin, so

<context xmlns="urn:zimbra">

should be

<context xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">

consequently, this request requires admin Auth token, not client auth token, so your AuthRequest should also be in zimbraAdmin namespace.

[schemers]

actually, the <context> element is always in the "urn:zimbra" namespace.

If you run:

zmprov -d createAccount {name} {password}

You'll see the SOAP it sends:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
  <soap:Header>
    <context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
      <authToken>...</authToken>
      <sessionId id="317">317</sessionId>
    </context>
  </soap:Header>
  <soap:Body>
    <CreateAccountRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">
      <name>user9@slapshot.local</name>
      <password>test123</password>
    </CreateAccountRequest>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Is it possible to dump the outgoing SOAP in PHP to compare? Another option is turn on debugging in the server.

I do that by editing log4j.properties (/opt/zimbra/conf) and adding:

log4j.logger.zimbra.soap=DEBUG

Then it should log every soap packet in/out of the server in the /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log file.
