I'm trying to use the webservice api to pull information about our umbraco instance.
I am using Umbraco v4.0.2.1.

Specifically, I am trying to call /umbraco/webservices/api/documentService.asmx?op=readList

For parentid I am specifying -1,

for username and password I am specifying the same username and password that I use to log into the umbraco admin.

I keep receiving the following error:
[code]System.Exception: The user does not authenticate
at umbraco.webservices.BaseWebService.Authenticate(String username, String password)
at umbraco.webservices.documents.documentService.readList(Int32 parentid, String username, String password)[/code]

My umbracoSettings.config section relevant looks like:
[code]

[/code]

I have tried changing the "admin" above to "Administrator" - this didn't help. I also tried creating a new user "ws", and setting it up as a copy of admin, then using that instead of admin in the above config - that also didn't help...

I have searched google and the forums several times trying to find what I am doing wrong, but I cannot see anything relevant that resolves the issue. Has anyone else used these api webservices? How did they get them working?

Thanks,

Scott
