Hello Community,
we have encountered an issue, where if a user has password with special character %, followed by 2 numbers, the OAuth request will fail with 403, even though the password is in fact valid. This is probably due to URL encoding during the request.
Correct password: 6QsTrk7%R
Incorrect password: 6QsTrk7%12R
I am using this C# code with grant type password https://community.telligent.com/community/11/w/developer-training/63121/authentication#mcetoc_1eeqvi5bt4
var tokenRequest = WebRequest.Create($"{baseUrl}/api.ashx/v2/oauth/token") as HttpWebRequest; var data = string.Format("client_id={0}&grant_type=password&username={1}&password={2}", clientId, username, password); byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data); tokenRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; tokenRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length; tokenRequest.Method = "Post"; var requestStream = tokenRequest.GetRequestStream(); requestStream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length); requestStream.Close(); string tokenResponse = null; using (var webTokenResponse = tokenRequest.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse) { using (var reader = new StreamReader(webTokenResponse.GetResponseStream())) { tokenResponse = reader.ReadToEnd(); } }
Thank you for any advice.
