  Hello,

What may I be missing here for a simple POST that is throwing a 401?

Thanks!

          const options = {
              https: { rejectUnauthorized: settings.ssl },
              headers: {
                    'Accept': 'application/json', 
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                    'vmware-use-header-authn': settings.username,
                    'vmware-api-session-id': undefined,                    
                  },
              username: settings.username,
              password: settings.password,              
            }
        
          const response = await got.post(url, options);

#1351 and/or #1169. Try passing an authorization header instead.

Thanks @szmarczak !! That did the trick!

          const options = {
              https: { rejectUnauthorized: settings.ssl },
              headers: {
                'Authorization': "Basic " + Buffer.from(settings.username + ':' + settings.password).toString("base64"),
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
                'Accept': 'application/json',
                'vmware-api-session-id': undefined,              
                }          
            }

          const response = await got.post(url, options);
