Installed Appd EC and Controller on 192.168.xx.xx, created user miles and API client poc.

Post from postman:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.appd.cntrl+protobuf;v=1" "http://192.168.xx.xx:8090/controller/api/oauth/access_token" -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=poc@miles&client_secret=1d7d9f28-b9a8-xxxx-xxxx-68e76fc58db7'

returns 401.

Hi Miles

if you installed the Controller on premise, what is your account name? If you navigate to the Administration > License > Account menu, what is your account name? the default is normally customer1

You also only need an API client, not a User as well

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.appd.cntrl+protobuf;v=1" "http://192.168.xx.xx:8090/controller/api/oauth/access_token" -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=poc@miles&client_secret=1d7d9f28-b9a8-xxxx-xxxx-68e76fc58db7'

The format needs to be as follows if you have the following

API Client Name - poc

account name - customer 1

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.appd.cntrl+protobuf;v=1" "http://192.168.xx.xx:8090/controller/api/oauth/access_token" -d 'grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=poc@customer1&client_secret=1d7d9f28-b9a8-xxxx-xxxx-68e76fc58db7'
