API Authentication Failure

if you created it correctly and are using a local account, did you by any chance setup ad/ldap authentication?

No, I did'nt set up any AD account.
To me it is possible set up active directory autentication but I  prefer avoid further complexity.

was just checking as i changed the order and it wouldn't work when i did that.

can you confirm you enabled api and you have given the account the correct permissons?

to me everithying seems OK

meby % is invalid in password?

Hi Fabio Marziani I have tried in local LAB Appliance with admin credentials and it worked for me.

X.X.X.X:4444/.../APIController passwordform="encrypt">YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY</Password></Login><Set><IPHost><Name>Test3</Name><IPFamily>IPv4</IPFamily><HostType>IP</HostType><IPAddress>198.1.2.3</IPAddress></IPHost></Set></Request>



If I am simply giving an incorrect username or password then it is generating the same error that you are receiving.

X.X.X.X:4444/.../APIController<Username>API admin</Username><Password passwordform="encrypt">YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY</Password></Login>

(No such user is present on the LAB device, taken to generate the error).

Example:

I have redone the process of encrypting password (with a new one), rewritten from scratch the https statement and it had worked.

Having checked everything many times before posting to community, I was skeptic about your response but your suggestion was right.
