API Login with LogIn ID and password

[Lassen]

Trying to make an VB.NET app where user would log in with LogIn ID and password (rather than APILogInID and APITransactionKey), just like when using an Internet browser to charge a credit card.

ApiOperationBase(Of ANetApiRequest, ANetApiResponse).RunEnvironment = AuthorizeNet.Environment.SANDBOX

ApiOperationBase(Of ANetApiRequest, ANetApiResponse).MerchantAuthentication = New merchantAuthenticationType() With {

.name = txtLoginID.Text,

.ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.password,

.Item = txtPassword.Text}

But I get:

Error: E00059  The authentication type is not allowed for this method call.

Is that because using .SANDBOX or is .ItemElementName = ItemChoiceType.password not allowed, even though it apears to be an option?

Hello @Lassen

As the error message indicates, you cannot use the API with a Login ID and Password to authenticate.

Thank you Richard.

Are there any plans to enable this?
