1. you are using "login" command to verify your account created through
"createAccount"?
2. The API description for "login" mentions below. See the description for
argument password.
<command>
<name>login</name>
<description>Logs a user into the CloudStack. A successful login attempt
will generate a JSESSIONID cookie value that can be passed in subsequent Query
command calls until the "logout" command has been issued or the
session has expired.</description>
<isAsync>false</isAsync>
<request>
<arg>
<name>username</name>
<description>Username</description>
<required>true</required>
</arg>
<arg>
<name>password</name>
<description>Hashed password (Default is MD5). If you wish to use any
other hashing algorithm, you would need to write a custom authentication
adapter See Docs section.</description>
<required>true</required>
</arg>
<arg>
<name>domain</name>
<description>path of the domain that the user belongs to. Example:
domain=/com/cloud/internal. If no domain is passed in, the ROOT domain is
assumed.</description>
<required>false</required>
</arg>
<arg>
<name>domainId</name>
<description>id of the domain that the user belongs to. If both domain
and domainId are passed in, "domainId" parameter takes
precendence</description>
<required>false</required>
</arg>
</request>
3. What happens if you just pass the password as it is to "login" cmd? This is
what got captured in firebug, when i logged in to CS. Here, password is
"password" for account "abc".
command login
domain /
password password
response json
username abc

Subject: password hash
Hello all,
I have a php web interface and i related the interface to the cloudstack
database with the creataccount api. Now i am getting problems when I try to
log in to this web interface.it seems to be a hash problem. I am hashing
the password as below:
$password = hash(sha256 ,$_POST['password']);
but still can not login. Is this the right hash algorithm i am using?
Kind regards and merry christmas!
