Hi

I am new in PHP API command, please I need an example to disable an user in HotSpot that login by MAC
Please let`s think that the MAC is 00:00:00:00:00.
Also I need to remove the MAC 00:00:00:00:00 in /ip hotspot host .

Could some one please send an example

Thanks

Sorry could you show me an example:

I have in my PHP-API program

$API->write(‘/ip/hotspot/host/print’);
But now I dont know how remove an user ( we loging by mac, so the name the user is for example 00:00:00:00:00)

Sorry for my question but I understand just a litter englis and thas why I ask for example

Best Regards

please tell, how you do that in CLI

Hi I will do the next in CLI

To disable:
ip hot use set [find name=00:02:55:BF:07:59] disable=yes
To enable
ip hot use set [find name=00:02:55:BF:07:59] disable=no
To remove
ip hot use remove [find name=00:02:55:BF:07:59]

I have seen some samples but I dont understan the las part (both cases enable/disable and remove ) when you refer to the .id , When I write my program in PHP, I dont have the .id ; so what exactly Do I have to put in my PHP program (Sorry my question I think that I dont understan for my english) If you could show me exactly what do I have to put in my PHP program I will really apreciate it.

about id: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/api-acl-control/29390/7

so, you first execute

/ip/hotspot/user/print
=.proplist=.id
?name=00:02:55:BF:07:59

then

/ip/hotspot/user/set
=.id=your_id_here
?disabled=yes|no

and

/ip/hotspot/user/remove
=.id=your_id_here

Sorry ( I dont know how to say in englis closed, no smart,… but I dont get it. )

I will put in my PHP API program all these and in that same form:


/ip/hotspot/user/print
=.proplist=.id
?name=00:02:55:BF:07:59
/ip/hotspot/user/set
=.id=your_id_here What does mean “your_id_here”, I am doing a program to enable or disable any MAC, so now is
?disabled=yes

I am doing a program to enable or disable any MAC, so now is 00:02:55:BF:07:59 ,but then will be another so will be another MAC and another .id.. It is a program in PHP I want that work for any time just I put the any MAC

Iam really sorry to dont understand

8

I am asking because I am doing a aplication in PHP to disable or enable the MAC .. so my program will ask me .. introduce the MAC TO DISABLE, I will put the MAC, my program take these , put into a variable and the send the comands to the router to disable that MAC.

I hope that now I explain correctly.. Sorry again

9

so what’s problem?.. you send ‘/print’ command with any MAC you want, receive its .id, then do with it what you want: disable, remove, even change MAC =)

10

So. to get the .id I have to run the funtion read() and put into a variable what is sending the router , then send the command to disable/enable with that varibale,
If I am Ok.. please could you show me with all lines commands that i have to use (I am using the funtion that are in wiki.mikrotik.api ) please using that funtion. could you write me how to do that..
I am using $v_mac as the variable that have the MAC

\

<?php require('routeros_api.class.php'); $API = new routeros_api(); $API->debug = true; if ($API->connect('111.111.111.111', 'LOGIN', 'PASSWORD')) { $API->write('/ip/hotspot/user/print'); $API->write('=.proplist=.id'); $API->write('?name='.$v_mac); ...????????it is ok? THEN???? \ \ $API->disconnect(); } ?>

Thanks

11

at first,

$API->write(‘/ip/hotspot/user/print’, false);
$API->write(‘=.proplist=.id’, false);
$API->write(‘?name=’.$v_mac);


yes, it is as it should be

something like

$A = $API->read();
$A = $A[0];
$API->write(‘/ip/hotspot/user/set’, false);
$API->write(‘=.id=’.$A[‘.id’], false);
$API->write(‘=disabled=yes’);
$API->read();

12

Thks.. It is working

2 more things

1 ) One more question. I will use it to enable/disable, add/ remove user a lot of other things etc etc etc.., Do I have to be carefull with something, or waht will I could not do or waht command are possible to execute or which ones not..

  1. If I use a User Manager ..
    2.1 Could I use these API command to enable/disable user that are in User manager
    2.2 If I use User Manager DO I have to have the user in the User Manager and in each
    router too ?
    2.1 Does User Manager have a walled garden…like HotSpot
    2.1 Have a profile (to use diferentes Band with) to apli to diferents user

Best Regards

user manager doesn’t replace hotspot, it just is a visual interface for managing users OF HOTSPOT. the same walled garden is still used.

14

Please I did read about User Manager but In some place I read that I have to delete all configuration of the Hotspot in each router to be able to use the User Manager:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/User_Manager/Hotspot_Example

  • Note, first local HotSpot database is consulted, then User Manager database.

It means that if you have configuration in ‘/ ip hotspot user print’, users will be able to authenticate in HotSpot using these data. Delete users configuration from ‘/ ip hotspot print’ to stop using local HotSpot database for authentication. To move batch of local HotSpot users to the User Manager database use export/import . Use text editor program to create appropriate file to import local users to the User Manager database.

Sorry I dont Understand, If I have to keep the local configuration of each user ( to be able to use the "advertising and script " that have the profile user. So How can I use the profile user If I cant say to each user in USERMANAGER what is its profile.
Even more.. If I want to create new User DO I have to creat in local Hotspot or in USERMANAGER or both.

Again I am sorry. Pease help me

15

this is only to help you migrate. you DO NOT HAVE TO create any users locally, you can make all users only in user manager
