Setting up WHMCS AC Connector

Please read these instructions carefully and follow them in order. Things may not work otherwise.

1. Make sure that aC can “see” WHMCS – the WHMCS API URL must be accessible from activeCollab.
2. Upload WHMCS AC Connector module and authentication provider files to activeCollab. Do not forget to upload files in “auth_providers” folder.
3. Install the module from activeCollab admin
4. Edit “config.php” file in activeCollab. Add define('AUTH_PROVIDER', 'WHMCSAuthenticationProvider'); line after other configuration options. Save the file.
5. Login to WHMCS admin, and create a new Administrator.
   
6. If your activeCollab setup has a fixed public IP, enter it in the General Settings – Security – API IP Access Restriction area. If not, add an API Access Key in your WHMCS “configuration.php” file. (More on this in WHMCS documentation)
   
7. Come to activeCollab Admin. Go to WHMCS AC Connector settings.
8. Enter URL of your WHMCS API (typically http://yourwhmcsdomain/includes/api.php), the newly created admin username and password. Enter the API Access Key if you are not using IP Restriction.
   
9. Also choose the activeCollab system role for users created from WHMCS
10. Optionally, you can also select a project and project role to assign to newly created users here.
11. Save changes in activeCollab.

Testing WHMCS AC Connectivity

• Create a new client user in WHMCS. Login as that user in activeCollab admin. This should create a new user in activeCollab and log him in.
• Update a user’s password in WHMCS. Login with the new password in activeCollab. This should work.
