  • How to get Last Logged In User for a device from N-able N-central API using SOAP calls

Environment

  • N-able N-central 12.1.0.744 or later (EI2 WSDL)

Solution

  1. See this article for assistance setting up the WSDL in your application of choice: https://documentation.n-able.com/N-central/troubleshooting/Content/kb/Accessing-N-able-N-central-API-functions
  2. Observe the Documentation for DeviceList (by searching https://yourservername.com/dms > javadoc):






  3. Make a soap call as follows:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ei2="http://ei2.nobj.nable.com/">
<soap:Header/>
<soap:Body>
<ei2:deviceList>
<ei2:username>productadmin@n-able.com</ei2:username>
<ei2:password>**************</ei2:password>
<ei2:settings>
<ei2:key>customerid</ei2:key>
<ei2:value>957</ei2:value>
</ei2:settings>
<ei2:settings>
<ei2:key>devices</ei2:key>
<ei2:value>true</ei2:value>
</ei2:settings>
</ei2:deviceList>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


//Example Response:
