    Hi Riaan,

    There were some significant security updates with the move towards v12.0. For instance, it is no longer possible by default to authenticate with only a hashed password using the Aras REST API, and I'm betting there's been similar changes for SOAP requests as well.

    At least for the REST calls in 12.0, you must now request an OAuth token and use that to authenticate your requests to the server. You can check out steps on how to do that in this blog though you may need to do adapt the steps to use SOAP instead.

Thanks Chris, I will then either use IOM or REST. 

Kind Regards
