Anonymous,

You use Domain\username as user name. Could you please re-check your username following the instructions below?

Enter your username and password. You can find this information in the Users window in Dynamics NAV. Use the Web Access Key as your password.

For example, your username is ADMIN, and the web service access key that serves as your password is EgzeUFQ9Uv0o5O0lUMyqCzo1ueUW9yRF3SsLU=.



Regards,
Lydia

    Hi Lydia, 

     

    I was taking the credentials from NAV (Users Window) in the same format Domain\Username and the windows password. Since i have installed NAV on my local machine so the NAV user and Windows credentials are same by default. 

     

    This time i tried with the same Username and the Web access key which i got from the Users window in NAV but unfortunately :( ..

     

    this is also not working. i am getting the same error as before.

        Hello,

         

        I have the same problem and can't solve it. Do you have a solution? Or can someone help me solve the credentials problem?

        I have this problem with NAV 2018

         

        Many thanks in advance,

        Chiara
