1. First try call the commands EX: listZones,createAccount etc from browser. For that, browse your CS installed using a browser, then use firebug( A plugin to the browser reflecting your requests\responses) from your browser and check the GET\POST requests sent for each command. You will see the usage details along with command. Depending upon the nature of command and activity you want to use, change the command details and send across from your code. Are you trying to develop the UI facility ( in PHP ) to CS similar to what it is currently provided?
2. You can as well use 8096 port with apikey,signature and other command parameters to call CS commands. The simple tool to communicate to CS and getting your information and tasks done is cloudmonkey tool. 3. But, providing more details on what exactly you are trying to achieve further will help to provide more details. Thanks!

I changed that to port 8080 and now i get a session key as you mentioned. How can i use this sessionkey? 2013/12/25 Santhosh Edukulla <santhosh.eduku...@citrix.com<mailto:santhosh.eduku...@citrix.com>> 1. How you are retrieving the sessionkey with your mysqlquery? 2. I believe you are using Authentication Port 8080. If yes, below is the POST url along with params for login cmd. This should give the sessionkey for your further communication with CS. Request: http://localhost:8080/client/api command login domain / password password response json username abc Response: { "loginresponse" : { "timeout" : "1800", "sessionkey" : "tBr9fYLiIzoKVPQK0TBJb1BCeoQ=", "username" : "admin", "registered" : "false", "userid" : "ce801a0a-6d58-11e3-924d-7ac46bc9b016", "lastname" : "User", "account" : "admin", "domainid" : "ce7c8c82-6d58-11e3-924d-7ac46bc9b016", "firstname" : "Admin", "type" : "1" } } 3. If you are using UnAuthenticated Port 8096 to communicate, you need to use apiKey,signature and command parameters with your POST request to CS.
