XML-RPC Daemon

Some infos regarding the XML-RPC daemon ...

Also visit the XML-RPC resources page on the main OGo site: OpenGroupware.org XML-RPC Server

Starting the XML-RPC daemon

a) start the xmlrpcd on a port different from the WebUI one, eg 22022, otherwise you will receive HTML instead of XML responses ;-) Also note that ZideStore and xmlrpcd are different daemons!

  Defaults write xmlrpcd WOPort '"*:22022"'
  xmlrpcd

b) configure your Apache/mod_ngobjweb to forward requests going to /RPC2 to the port the xmlrpcd is running on

Try out the XML-RPC daemon

The xmlrpc_call tool is excellent for playing with the xmlrpcd. By not specifying a method, it will list you all the available ones:

xmlrpc_call  http://[yourhost]/RPC2
login:    [login]
password: [pwd]
access.operationAllowedOnObjectsForAccess
access.setOperationOnObjectForAccess
account.changePassword
account.delete
account.deleteByLogin
account.deleteByNumber
account.fetch
...

You can also use that to call a method:

xmlrpc_call  http://[yourhost]/RPC2 jobs.getToDoList
login:    [login]
password: [pwd]
