The “access hash” in DirectAdmin

An API request sent to the DirectAdmin control panel can be verified using the “access hash” security feature. By enabling user and developer interaction with the control panel, the API allows operations like email, account, domain, and more. This also doesn’t need any manual intervention through the web interface.

In order to confirm the caller’s identity and provide access to the requested resources, API requests must provide the access hash, which functions as an authentication token. It also aids in making sure that only apps or users with permission can access the DirectAdmin control panel via the API and make changes or get data from it.

Working

1. The access hash is created for a particular user account. Usually, one can do this using the command line as well as the control panel.

2. The access hash is used as an authentication mechanism in the request headers or parameters when sending an API call to the panel. In order to verify that the request is coming from a verified source, DirectAdmin verifies the hash.

3. The Panel also verifies if the request is allowed to use or alter the requested resources by looking up the user account’s permissions once the hash has been verified.

4. The access hash must be kept private. Compromising the hash may result in illegal use of the control panel’s settings and data. Since it serves as a secret key that verifies access to critical actions within DirectAdmin.
