Authenticate User API call 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Can someone explain to me the point of the Data.authenticateUser API call? Do I need to call it to make other API calls or open additional functionality?

It is there for 3rd party integrations (such as the Outlook Plugin) to use. They use it in conjunction with another method that generates a temporary API Key for them to use to make the Plugin work. They cannot get a temporary Key to your app's API without valid username / password credentials.

You don't need to call it if you already have the API Key.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

Good thing it isn't needed because it doesn't seem to work. I tried it for kicks (for possible future use) - returns a failed login error every time.

The method works. The Outlook Plugin relies heavily upon it and I've personally tested it with success.

Be sure to MD5 Hash the password or it will return a failed login every time. You can't just pass it straight across.

Make sure you send the md5 has in lower case. The method doesn't convert the input to lowercase before doing a string compare (at least the XML-RPC doesn't).

HI,

I'm bumping up the thread to see if anyone could benefit the same problem i went through.

I also couldn't get through the authenticateUser method even after md5ing n lower case.

Here is a long code example :

$pass = "npassword";
$pass2 = md5($pass);
$pass3 = strtolower($pass3);
$uid = $myApp->authenticateUser("sfmy",$pass3);

The authentication always fail.

What could be wrong here?

At first glance, it would seem to me that:

Code: :

 $pass3 = strtolower($pass3);



should really be:

Code: :

 $pass3 = strtolower($pass2);



Best,
Bob

um, haven't tried this, but given the code presented and the pass2/3 correction:

Shouldn't strtolower be before md5?
strtolower(md5('pAssword')) is totally different than md5(strtolower('pAssword'))

Anyway, I'd give it a try, but I really don't want to lock my accout out for 30 mins
