@pmoon7

Have you looked into the buildRequest():

In authenticating you will see there is a call for buildRequest() function which returns the array of requests.

after web connector login success, the next request from web connector will be sendRequestXML() and in that function, if you see the req , it's getting the first request and again return the values to the QuickBooks.

Please see the document to understand the Web Connector Document.

I did try to read the doc. I was able to trace:

1. server
2. client
3. authenticate but couldn't get to sendrequestXML....not understanding how web connect wsdl work sot it's hard to move it.

@pmoon7 okay.

I guess you are not able to login with the web connector successfully. can you post here the logs from web connector and your javascript qbwc file.

Can you also verify that you are passing the correct username and password matching with the quickbooks web connector?

qbws.QBWebConnectorSvc.QBWebConnectorSvcSoap.authenticate =
function (args) {
    var authReturn = [];

    announceMethod('authenticate', args);
    authReturn[0] = uuid.v1();

    serviceLog('    Password locally stored = ' + password);
    // Put the username and password static over here and try again
    // also verify that you are provide the correct .qwc file for web connector.
    // .qwc file http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_web_connector#example_qwc_file example
    if (args.strUserName.trim() ==="QB_USERNAME" && args.strPassword.trim() === "QB_PASSWO") {
        req = buildRequest();

        if (req.length === 0) {
            authReturn[1] = 'NONE';
        } else {
            // An empty string for authReturn[1] means asking QBWebConnector
            // to connect to the company file that is currently opened in QB
            authReturn[1] = companyFile;
        }
    } else {
        authReturn[1] = 'nvu';
    }

    serviceLog('    Return values: ');
    serviceLog('        string[] authReturn[0] = ' + authReturn[0]);
    serviceLog('        string[] authReturn[1] = ' + authReturn[1]);

    return {
        authenticateResult: { 'string': [authReturn[0], authReturn[1]] }
    };
};

@pmoon7 as per your QuickBooks Log I'm seeing the error Object reference not set to an instance of an object. and from this link I understand that you are not passing the server version to the QuickBooks Web Connector in serverVersion() so just add in the return of the server version is 0.2.1 and for client its fine if you pass the blank.
