Hello,

we are trying to install & configure a NX server without manual interaction and are investigating which API requests are needed.

We start with /api/setupLocalSystem: to set the admin password
Then, we want to create a specific API user to handle all of the next API requests, so we make a POST /ec2/saveUser with the admin owner account and the new password in the Authorization header.

This request always results in 403 Forbidden. What are we doing wrong here?

  I'm trying the requests with Postman. This is how it looks:

  

  The headers contains the Authorization header with Basic authentication, which is working fine, because without this I get a 401 error.

  I am using the credentials of the admin owner user, which I have set during the /api/setupLocalSystem request.

  After a complete start over, by doing a /api/detachFromSystem request, I now managed to create a user.

  I honestly have no idea what's different, because I executed the same Postman requests, but it's working now and the user is created successfully.
