Creating a PLESK login on my site...

[amiliz85]

I have found code on this and entered it onto my page... however, when a username and password is typed in, and then LOGIN is pressed, it just takes you to to plesk login page, where you have to login a SECOND time, THEN you can actually get into your control panel... this is the code I am using...


<form action="http://65.98.110.82:8443/login.php3" method="post">

<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">

<!--Username-->
<tr><td><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="1"><label for="login_name"> Login:</label></font></td>
<td><input type="text" name="login_name" id="login_name" class="login_textbox" value="" size="15" tabindex="1"></td></tr>

<!--Password-->
<tr><td><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="1"><label for="passwd">Password:</label></font></td>
<td><input type="password" name="passwd" id="passwd" size="15" maxlength="14" tabindex="2"></td></tr>

<tr><td> </td>
<td align="center"><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="1">
<font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="1">Remember Me</font></td></tr>

<tr><td> </td>
<td align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"></td></tr>

</table></form>

I tried to make this work but couldn't. Rob, any ideas?

I don't see why this wouldn't work. I'm sure others are going this... I found the code here:

If it didn't work, I would think it would be removed.... so I must be doing something wrong...

Thanks.

That is quite old so things must have changed since then.

Then what is it that eveyone is using now? Is there an updated site to find this information?

Thanks.

In short - no.

We never got this to work for about 2-3 years. But I have a sneaking suspicion as to how it can work, but it's not really practical so I never bothered.

From what I can tell, Pelsk knows that it's delivered the login screen to your borwser/computer. So, you need to call the login screen from the browser - you could do this via an i-frame that's hidden from view (i.e. off the left of the screen) and give your own branded version instead. You could then fire the command to the server or fill in the other form via JavaScript and go from there.

But as this requires what is essentially cross-site scripting, I guess there will be a few pop-ups on the clinet side, so I never actually bothered to see if it could work.
