If you see the above, there is clear error message, excerpt :
'Enter your user ID in the format \u0026quot;domain\\user\u0026quot; or \u0026quot;user@domain\u0026quot;.'; this.passwordEmpty = 'Enter your password.'; this.passwordTooLong = 'Password must be shorter than 128 characters.';}; var maxPasswordLength = 128

yes I did.

against the user I gave user@domain

against the password- I gave the password (not long password)

against the domain- I left it blank and also tried giving the domain again

    domain\user as username.

      I did try that too. Thx

      But same issue.

      The reponse is coming back with 200-OK- if issue with user/pw then it should not return 200?

        hi,

        i had something very similar when attempting to run requests in readyapi! that failed even though the same request with the same creds worked in postman.

        i got my request working by adding in an Authorization header parameter into the GET request despite the fact that i could see the Authorization header in the requests raw details.

        so what i did.
        1.run the GET request
        2. check the raw details on the request and copy the Authorization headers value to clipboard.
        3.add in a header parm with the name 'Authorization', paste the value from clipboard into the new header's value field.
        4. save project and rerun the GET request.

        i dont know if this will fix your problem but its analagous to the problem i had and the above fixed the issue for me.

        cheers,
