Authentication API with Password

I am able to authenticate using the authentication API (both v1 and v2) using the username and apiKey. However, I’m unable to do so utilizing the username and password. I have validated that the URI, username and password are correct. 

 

Are there perhaps user role permissions that I am missing which cause the issue? Or, is it most likely something that has been disabled internally within my organization?

 

Error response:

{

    "code": "UM9999",

    "details": null,

    "message": "An unexpected problem occurred."

}

Check if you are using special characters

@Raul Jaimes thanks for the reply! I’ve confirmed that the special characters are not the issue. Any other ideas?

Create a new token for the user. 

Kindly  check if you are not facing a similar issue like this with X-Authorization Header.
