Authenticate technical user via REST API while SSO is enabled

Hey guys,   I'm using SSO to authenticate users within a community, but I also want to use technical users (non-SSO) to make requests via REST API. As I read here https://community.lithium.com/t5/C...

    Does your user have the API privileges?
    And are you sure about the password?

    Also make sure you don't have 2 users with the same username ...

    @OliverS

     

    API privileges and password are correct, but it seems the username is already used by another user.

    I changed the username for the service account and now I get the session key and can go further.

     

    Thanks and best regards,

    Christian
