# general
j
I’m trying to test connecting to a RESTlet using Postman. Sending the same request over and over, about 80% of the time I get
Copy code
error code: INVALID_LOGIN_ATTEMPT
error message: Invalid login attempt.
and the rest of the time it’s fine. I’m making no changes in between, just pressing send again. What the heck might be going on here?
b
whats the detail from the login audit trail
j
InvalidSignature
it’s very odd, I can send again and it’s fine
b
probably something wrong with the authorization's settings
j
why would it change though, if I change nothing else.
it’s like “click send ---> OK”, “click send ---> INVALID”, “click send ---> INVALID”, “click send ---> INVALID”, “click send ---> OK”, “click send ---> INVALID”
I’m not doing it fast or anything
b
if you mess up the encoding, the signature does not properly escape reserved characters
which means the signature will fail when it contains a reserved character like +
j
I’m not encoding anything myself though. Just using OAuth 1.0 with Consumer Key/Secret & Token ID/Secret.
I still don’t see how I can change nothing and it seems to randomly choose to fail or succeed.
b
go through the advanced settings of authorization
if you require a working example, then take a look at the rest web services collection
its setup correctly and marks the correct encoding setting
j
it feels like if something is wrong in my setup, it should fail every time though
b
take a look at the postman console
take a look at the signature of successful requests and failed requests
j
I’m not sure if I can download the REST Web Services Collection, as it does not appear on my ‘Download SuiteCloud Tools’ page.
b
if you see a plus in the signature of failed requests, then look back at what i told you
j
Thanks for your help BTW. Trying to see how to view the console.
I’m using the web version of POstman
b
you on your own there
hopefully its the actual console
j
I am still suss that this might just be some weird glitch
when I go to this URL (replacing with my account ID) I don’t think I’m seeing the collection to download
message has been deleted
this might be a problem for Next-Week-Jen
b
did you do the rest related setup?
j
I’m not sure how my setup would make it intermittently fail
it should fail all the time or not at all
b
i already listed the explanation about how messing up the encoding related settings will give intermittent failures
j
I don’t see anything where you said why it would happen intermittently. What is it that is different?
Do you happen to know if there’s a way to access that Collection you mentioned (the example) without enabling SuiteTalk REST Web Services? We are not actually using that, we are building our own API with RESTlets.
I am thinking the only difference is the timestamp… maybe nonce? Though I’m not setting those, POSTman is
b
the signature is base 64 encoded, which means the probability of it succeeding is equivalent to it not containing a plus
the usual for intermittent fails from postman is that encoding setting
n
This would happen to me as well
s
I have seen this as well. 3 clicks in row.…. Click Success…. click fail…. click Success …. or the other way around. literally nothing changes in between except time tick ticking away….
