External Login through PHP

[bornsilly]

Hi Guys,

Please excuse me if i am asking something that has been asked before but i tried several searches to find a answer for my question and obviously didnt find it. With that said here is my question/request.

It it possible to login directly from my homepage into Zimbra? I understand you can do something with soap? If so are there any examples out that show how to login to Zimbra?

I saw somebody was working on a PHP module for this but due to lack of time has not been able to finish it but perhaps somebody else has been able to create a script in PHP?

Thanks in advance.

Hi bornsilly

Yes, have a look at the Preauth article - it sounds like it's what you're after. You don't have to use SOAP - you can generate a URL too.

If that's not what you're after - then I'll take a guess that you want to log in to Zimbra with a username/password supplied via a form page on your website?

Hi Webman,

Thanks for your reply. I indeed am after logging in from a other page from a other webpage. Do you happen to know how to accomplish that?

Ah, okay, so in effect you want to re-produce your Zimbra's login form.

In that case, you simply need to construct a form with the required fields and have the ACTION parameter set to your Zimbra's login URL - similar to this post.
