Q:

How to get cst_key from Avectra netforum?

I have username/password to access xweb functions. With Authenticate function, im able to get auth token by SOAP request. Auth token is the cst_key?? 
For reference, im using this tutorial Member Management
After that which function, i need to use to get a specific member details.
Please help 
THanks

A:

rxbass, do you have access to the technical documentation? Work with your client or Avectra to get access as the API methods are all documented.
To answer your specific question, the Authenticate method returns a Token that is just a randomly generated key and is used to authenticate your API user's identify. It has nothing to do with customers in netFORUM. You must pass this token's value in the SOAP header to subsequent method calls. That token is not a cst_key.
TO get more information about a particular member, you'll need that member's cst_key somehow. We might need more information to provide a helpful answer.
More info:
rxbass, in your subsequent requests, are you providing the Token you received from Authenticate in the SOAP header?
As a simple test to make sure your account is set up properly, try running a simple method like GetVersion. See code sample below; replace the "999999999" string with the Token that was returned by Authenticate. If that method isn't working for you, then there are underlying setup issues and you should address them through your support channels.
