Updaters cannot login to Dynect

[akostadinov]

How to use gem with such account then?

[5] pry(main)> dyn = Dyn::Traffic::Client.new("customent", 'name', 'passwd')
Dyn::Exceptions::RequestFailed: Request failed: ERROR ILLEGAL_OPERATION BLL - login: Updaters cannot login to Dynect
INFO  BLL - login: Login failed

This is FAD ... the "users" of type update and only permitted to issue dynamic updates they do not have login permissions.

This is not an issue with this gem, nor with the API. It is inherent to the platform.

How do I perform dynamic updates then?

[lhagemann]

There is documentation here:
https://help.dyn.com/managing-dynamic-updates/

Including how to write your own remote access api client. https://help.dyn.com/remote-access-api/

Dynamic updates are done through the remote access api, and not through the dynect traffic api.
