Help with class Server login

[kyletov]

Hello, I'm getting this error when trying to login using the Server class:

fmrest.exceptions.FileMakerError: FileMaker Server returned error 212, Authorization header 'Basic' invalid.

Any help or guidance on this would be great!

Does the error appear when attempting to login or after the initial login? Can you provide a code snippet and the full trace?

Hey, I just tried again and seems like I'm not running into that issue anymore, I got the impression that I needed to include data_sources when initializing fmrest.Server like data_sources=[{'database': 'Contacts', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'admin'}] (from code docs).

When I removed it, I was able to login using the format below (same as the example from the docs):

>>> fms = fmrest.Server('https://your-server.com',
                        user='admin',
                        password='admin',
                        database='Contacts',
                        layout='Contacts')
>>> fms.login()
>>> record = fms.get_record(1)
>>> record.name
John Doe

Glad it works now. The data_sources is in fact only needed if you want to authenticate to additional DBs.
