    Hello,

    you can use in your API call the encrypted password:

    Get encrypted password on CLI:

    opcode GetEncripted_PasswordFor_API -t json -b '{"password":"_*whateverpasswordisbeingused*_"}' -ds nosync

    Use it in API call:

    <Request> <Login> <Username>Username</Username> <Password passwordform='encrypt'>Encrypted_Password</Password> </Login> </Request>
