9611 Error Hello World Example

Dear Visa Support,

 

I am currently trying to access your API services by using Two-way SSL. I have followed all your examples of the "Hello World" Program.

 

In Postman: In settings, I set the cert.pem file I downloaded from Visa Developer Dashboard under "Credentials" and the private key downloaded from creating the project. The host is set to "sandbox.api.visa.com".  After that, I go under authentication and use "Basic Authentication," where I insert the User ID and Password from the Visa Developer Dashboard. 

 

In SoapUI: I create the p12 using OpenSSL and select the file in SoapUI's settings > SSL Settings. I pass the authentication as "Basic Auth," and I get the error.

 

In NodeJS: I use the example given by you:

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

    var options = {

        port: 443,
        uri: 'https://sandbox.api.visa.com/vdp/helloworld',
        method: 'GET',

        console.log(`Status: ${res.statusCode}`);

    });
    res.send('Hello World');
});

app.listen(3050, function () {
    console.log('Example app listening on port 3050.');
})

 

And nonetheless, I get the same error from every channel:

    code: '9611',

    message: 'Authorization Failed for the URL.',

I would appreciate it if you would take a look at the problem.

UPDATE: After waiting a day and running all the examples again, the authentication suddenly worked. I guess there is a period of time you have to wait before you get authenticated

Re: 9611 Error Hello World Example

Hi alll,

 

I also faced the same issue while accessing helloworld API by using Two-way SSL.

This is what I noted;

 

If your "Visa Project" do not have activated permit to call, then you will not be able to call Visa API (see image 01).

I was able to solve this issue by creating new "Visa Project" and generating fresh api keys. New project has the activated permit to call the APIs (see image 02)
