Forums - Adobe Connect User Community

Edit: No data is what you get with a failed request

We use ASP/ASP.NET to login in accounts against the api. If you are using session management you shouldn't send the account-id with your request. I've found it easier to use cookie management when logging in an account instead of session management. With cookie management the login call returns a session cookie that you can set through PHP on the local users computer. You can also log in an admin account in your code, and pass an admin session with your xml request for additional tasks without having to worry about the user gaining these privileges.

7.0 api doc - http://www.adobe.com/support/documentat … onnectpro/

Here is example code in ASP, maybe someone has it in PHP

const SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS = 13056

breezeurl = "https://" & DomainName & "/api/xml?action=login&login=" & BreezeLogin & "&password=" & BreezePassword
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml
Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xml.Open "POST", breezeurl, False
xml.setOption 2, SXH_SERVER_CERT_IGNORE_ALL_SERVER_ERRORS
xml.Send

' Check Status code after attempted login
Set objXMLDoc = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
objXMLDoc.loadxml xml.responseTEXT
StatusCode = objXMLDoc.selectSingleNode("/results/status").Attributes.GetNamedItem("code").Text
If StatusCode = "ok" Then
    ' Set cookie for successful login and get session value
    Response.Addheader "Set-Cookie", xml.getResponseHeader("Set-Cookie")
    LogMessage = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") & "," & BreezeLogin & " successfully logged in" 
    Logger(LogMessage)
Else
    ' Error logging in user, user account doesn't exist or password is incorrect.
    ErrorCode = 1
End If
Set objXMLDoc = Nothing
Set xml = Nothing

Hi There,

I use  PHP, I have written a *really basic* class to do it for you:

here's how to use it:

$connectPro = new ConnectProAdmin( USERNAME, PASSWORD, BASE_URL );

$connectPro->directAPICall(   "some api call"   );

cheers

Alain



class ConnectProAdmin {
    public $curl_handle;

        $this->baseURL = $adobeBaseURL;

        $this->curl_handle = curl_init();

        if( !isset($this->cookie) ) {
            $this->setupAdobeSessionCookie();
