Hi,

It should work. We used this flow many times.
Can you give us the sequence of API calls you’re using. It will help us to identify the issue.

When I send the following request:

GET https://na.airvantage.net/api/oauth/token?grant_type=password&username={login}&password={password}&client_id=0fbf4ade773f4c91aacacfecd6870122&client_secret=0374ae58918b47aeaf6c7b060fd595dd

I receive the following response:

{
access_token: "6eb92088-c025-4c85-a4f7-90bf8bc2461g"
token_type: "bearer"
refresh_token: "7519c788-7ad4-4c2d-af25-ae40e40881ea"
expires_in: 86399
}

So it’s working

Can you try this request with your credentials? with you API Client ID and Secret?

</oauth>

Is there any special characters in your login or password? If yes, it should be url encoded http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/
