R code Authentication for RDP API

I have a cleint hwo is using R code to login using his machine ID.


When I use Postman and Python, I am able to use the same password success fully to authenticate but when the cleint uses it on his side it gves him Invalid Username or Password error.


I did get similar error initially after setting the cleint password but afetr working with internal team it was understood that the issue was due the ‘£’ in the password , once the password was set was excluding‘£’ . it worked for me on postman and python. But the cleint is still receiving the same error

    Hello @bindia.nair,

    Not sure why using £ should cause a password issue - it is not a special character in R. What is the code that client is using in R.

    You can ask the client to try out the authentication code given in this answer.
