Error while saving information using setup.xml

I've got this in my default/setup.xml:

 

<setup>
   <block title="F5 API Gateway Key" endpoint="storage/passwords" entity="_new">
      <text>Enter F5 API Gateway Key User</text>
      <input field="gw_user">
         <label>F5 API Gateway Key Username (enter gw_key as the username)</label>
         <type>text</type>
      </input>
      <text>Enter F5 API Gateway Key</text>
      <input field="gw_key">
         <label>F5 API Gateway Key</label>
         <type>password</type>
      </input>
   </block>
   <block title="Username/Password" endpoint="storage/passwords" entity="_new">
      <text>Enter Username</text>
      <input field="name">
         <label>Username</label>
         <type>text</type>
      </input>
      <text>Enter Password</text>
      <input field="password">
         <label>Password</label>
         <type>password</type>
      </input>
   </block>
</setup>

 

I get this error when I enter data and try to save it:

 

Encountered the following error while trying to update: Error while posting to url=/servicesNS/nobody/TA-kp_f5_api_inputs/storage/passwords/

 

I'm not certain why I'm getting the error or how to resolve it.  Any suggestions?

TIA

Joe

Hi @jwhughes58 - sorry for not directly answering your question, but we're recommending that app developers migrate to using setup pages instead of setup.xml. You can learn more about setup pages here: https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/manageknowledge/setuppage

You should also check out the weather_app_example in this repo: https://github.com/splunk/splunk-app-examples/
