Change in XMPie 4.5+ API user command

January 14th, 2009

I have recently been working on some API automation for XMPie uProduce and after some head scratching, realized that the username paramater has now changed format.

Previously, you only needed to provide a username and password on api methods, however, in the new version it is important to include your customer name in a windows AD format. For example, if your credentials were:

Customer Name: ABC
User Name: badger
Password: 123456

You would need to present the username in your API call like so:

ABC\badger

I hope this save someone, somewhere, some time!

    Mmm… This sounds strange: I thought this was mandatory for a long time… I remember a projet I was working on as late as October 2007, for which I already had to concatenate customer, backslash and user to have the SSP WSAPI work.

    Nope, until 4.5 im 100% it was not mandatory… valid, yes, but not mandatory :-)
