VTC Authentication Failed

I am using the Python sample app for connecting to the VTC APIs.  I am receiving 401 unauthorized response when attempting to delete a document by account id.  Seeing a return code of 9122, but not exactly sure what that indicates.  Any help is appreciated.

Api Name: Customer Rules API

Re: VTC Authentication Failed

Im getting the same response using Insomnia client.

{
"responseStatus": {
"status": 401,
"code": "9122",
"severity": "ERROR",
"message": "Authentication failed",
"info": ""
}
}

 

  I believe my cert setup is correct but im not exactly sure how to verify.  When I submit without my certs I do get a different error.

Re: VTC Authentication Failed

Problem solved!  Mixed up certs, and private keys in my different environments, sandbox, cert, etc.   Had a working JKS previously set up in my QA environment, and was able to extract the private key and re-download my project cert.   I believe the error was indicating that I was presenting a valid cert/private key combo, but it didnt match up with my cert project settings.
