RDP authentication error

Hello! I am trying to set up an RDP session as indicated here:

https://github.com/Refinitiv-API-Samples/Example.RDPLibrary.Python

rdp.open_platform_session(    '8e9bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1b035d',     rdp.GrantPassword(        'my_login',         'my_password'    ) )

Using the app key generated for EDP API (from App Key Generator on the terminal) and typical login/password credentials I am using for Eikon, but get a Logging error.

Message: ElektronError(-1, 'TypeError("Expected object of type bytes or bytearray, got: <class \'str\'>")') Arguments: ('EDP Authentication failed',)

Could you help me please, what I am doing wrong?

    Hi @alex.yermolayev

    Are you unable to get any headlines, regardless of the query?

    I tried to recreate your scenario and whilst I can get headlines from a Platform session, I cannot get any from a Desktop session either.

    I have already emailed the product owner to report this - as you are aware the Refinitiv Data Platform library is in Beta.
