Hi Anuradha Kore In order to delete the user via API, still username must be specified between tags <Name></Name> which is mandatory. Please ensure you have set that filed as per requirement else it will not delete the user.

If the filed is proper then please post sample API query getting used by you to delete the user, so I can review the same.

Thanks vishal

Perfect solution. It worked. If possible please update API documentation

Providing my final script for further reference

ipaddress:port/.../APIController

reqxml=<Request><Login><Username>XXXX</Username><Password>YYYY</Password></Login><Remove><User transactionid="1"><Name>ABC</Name></User></Remove></Request>

Output:

<Response APIVersion">1905.1" IPS_CAT_VER">1">

<Login>

<status>Authentication Successful</status>

</Login>

<User transactionid">1">

<Status code">200">Configuration applied successfully.</Status>

</User>

</Response>

Its deleting the user. Here user name is specified inside tag <Name></Name>. ABC is user name in the query.

Thanks a lot.
