I am trying to send a list of users to the Xerox for network accounting purposes.
I successfully do this with 2 Xerox models (XEROX WorkCentre 7556 and XEROX WorkCentre 7830), following sudo code in PHP:
function SendUsersToXerox($ip,$users)
{ $url="{$ip}/acct/set_auth"; $auth='account:jbaserve'; $post="+aaav1.0\n+purge\n";
foreach ($users as $u)
{ $post.="+u\"{$u->login}\"\"{$u->code}\"\n";
} $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'EQ Device Control Engine'); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$auth"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/xrx-acct-data']); $data = curl_exec($ch); $httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); curl_close($ch);
// echo "HTTP CODE: {$httpcode}<br/>";
// echo $data;
}
This code works perfectly on the above named Xerox's but fails on the C70 with a 401 error and the following message:
Invalid accounting authentication version
Network accounting is enabled on the device, and I can collect all jobs from the printer at the URL acct/get_acct
If I pass in bad post data I get a different error message:
HTTP Return 400
The Request had invalid syntax
I can't find any references to JBA or Network Accounting anywhere and am not sure how to find out if the format has changed on set_auth or if it's version difference that needs to be set.
I know there are differences in the get_acct output that does point to a different version of the accounting.
