Open-Xchange Provisioning using SOAP

Provision Open-Xchange using SOAP

Beneath RMI and commandline, Open-Xchange can be provisioned using SOAP.

The setup instructions for the SOAP services can be find in this document.

Known limitations

Note, however, due to a limitation in the used technology (WSDL autogeneration), it is NOT possible to build the SOAP client using technologies like WSDL2JAVA or any other software that relies on a properly defined WSDL.

Only Perl (using SOAP::Lite) and PHP is known to work with the current implementation. The Plesk and POA integration is using PHP and the cPanel integration is using Perl to provision Open-Xchange using SOAP.
