Login with AuthenticationToken fails with "A21: A required argument was NULL"

Using ETA. After requesting Authentication Token from api.edp.thomsonreuters.com, sending login request with RDM_LOGIN_USER_AUTHN_TOKEN fails with following XML dump.

When trying to login with expired token, error message is different and clearly indicates that token has expired.

What is missing argument here?

@Serge

Basically the status message come from DACS and from the XML it looks like you did not set the ApplicationId in the request message. Please set it to a default value such as 256 and try again.

@moragodkrit

Yes, that was it. I can now login and get real-time data.

Thank you very much.
