PHP API Login Method Example [Help Please]

Fri Mar 20, 2020 10:09 am

Hello,

I am trying to login to a MikroTik router using an API, I believe the PHP in the current API is outdated and doesn't match the new login method.

Current code:

When the API is run the following error is displayed in the MikroTik terminal.
system,error,critical login failure for user admin from 192.168.1.198 via API

Would someone be able to provide a working login example via a PHP API?

Thanks!

Thanks for your fast response, however I'm still stuck. Getting the same login failure.

My current login method is:
	function connect($ip, $login, $password) {

		for ($ATTEMPT = 1; $ATTEMPT <= $this->attempts; $ATTEMPT++) {

			$this->connected = false;

			$this->debug('Connection attempt #' . $ATTEMPT . ' to ' . $ip . ':' . $this->port . '...');

			if ($this->socket = @fsockopen($ip, $this->port, $this->error_no, $this->error_str, $this->timeout) ) {

				socket_set_timeout($this->socket, $this->timeout);

				$this->write('/login');
				$this->write('=name=' . $login); 
				$this->write('=password=' . $password);

				$RESPONSE = $this->read(false);

				if ($RESPONSE[0] == '!done') {

					$this->connected = true;

					break;

				}			

				fclose($this->socket);

			}

			sleep($this->delay);

		}

		if ($this->connected)
			$this->debug('Connected...');
		else
			$this->debug('Error...');

		return $this->connected;

	}

I do not know anything about php api, but shouldn't it be like this?
$this->write('/login', false);
$this->write('=name=' . $login, false); 
$this->write('=password=' . $password);

Are you sure you have correct password, you are connecting to right router, etc? Because your code with mrz's update works.

Here it is. It has slightly different formatting, but it's the same code.

Thanks for that! It's working now.

(+ it turns out I was editing the wrong API class file as there were multiple for some reason! :P)
