Hi @StefanJaq, for password, do you use something like password="{noop}adminpassword"?

[StefanJaq]

Hi. No. I removed this noop string. It‘s like password="adminpassword“.

[zguo]

can you try with {noop} to see if it helps.

[StefanJaq]

Thanks, of course(!!!) that helped. Just realised that it is well documented. My mistake.
