API to create schedule on demand

[pat1974]

Hey guys, I'm sorry because I didn't do a lot of research about this before asking the question. But I figure that if somebody already have the answer I could find a solution quickly and implement it.

I have a portal that I want the user to login then once they are login I automatically, would like to send a command to pfsense to create a Firewall: Schedules.

This currently is all available within pfsense, I can just navigate to the Firewall: Schedules and create the schedule manually.

But I have no clue if it is possible to programmatically just call an API which can receive all the parameter required for the schedule and automatically save.

I think that I would create schedule a head of time, and then just programmatically do update to these schedule.

Basically if I could call to the save button in this page: firewall_schedule_edit.php?id=0
And provide all the value that the save needs to save a schedule that would be great.

Any one can help me with that?

You will need to learn how pfsense and it's XML works.

A php that receives a schedule and update/save on pfsense is not that hard and on my opinion the easiest way to do this.

The portal is on the same pfsense?

The portal is actually PFsense, after anlyzing the function provided by the portal, it will be better to use that, with a radius server it will authenticate with another system ever X minutes, so this will help control the access to the portal for a specific period of time.

Thanks
