Hi 

The username is apic:LOCAL-DOMAIN-NAME\\username, so in your case:

{
  "aaaUser" : {
    "attributes" : {
      "name" : "apic:LOCAL-DOMAIN-NAME\\georgewa",
      "pwd" : "paSSword1"
    }
  }
}

If you did not configure a local domain you can use the default fallback domain:

{
  "aaaUser" : {
    "attributes" : {
      "name" : "apic:fallback\\georgewa",
      "pwd" : "paSSword1"
    }
  }
}

Hello @Marcel Zehnder  

Thanks for your reply. Is there any difference to use different format in postman. like unicode instead of json. am currently using json. 

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi @DEV1389 

Do you have fallback login domain?

Admin > AAA > Login Domains

If not, then create one and select Realm as Local.

Also, you can test the API call with "#"or ":" in username format:

{
  "aaaUser" : {
    "attributes" : {
      "name" : "apic#fallback\\{{apic_username}}",
      "pwd" : "{{apic_password}}"
    }
  }
}

Cheers,

Sergiu
