    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 ...

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
