I am getting a 12007 response when checking the status of the response from XMLHTTP.
 
[url=https://bogusaddress.com/vmrest/users/https://bogusaddress.com/vmrest/users//credential/pin
 
Here is a snippet of the code executing when this occurs. The 12007 code is discovered at line 500 and reported by line 510.
 
This is happening in our dev environment, but not production yet.
 
         '-- reset password for user if we found
         '-- the user on a unity server above
        
460      objXML.Open "PUT", "https://" & sUMServerToResetAgainst & "/vmrest/users/" & sUserObjectId & "/credential/pin", False, "boguser", "boguspassword"
470      objXML.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Basic " & Base64Encode("bogususer:boguspassword")
480      objXML.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml"
        
         '-- this error handler is added since there is
         '-- an existing defect with XMLHTTP
         '-- where return code 204 is changed to a
         '-- 1223 exception. The XMLHTTP is
         '-- incorrectly considering a 204 response
         '-- as an error when it really isn't.
            
         On Error Resume Next
        
490      objXML.send "<Credential>" & _
                         "<UserObjectId>" & sUserObjectId & "</UserObjectId>" & _
                         "<CredentialType>4</CredentialType>" & _
                         "<Credentials>" & sPassword & "</Credentials>" & _
                         "<Locked>0</Locked>" & _
                     "</Credential>"
                        
         On Error GoTo End_of_Method
    
         '-- if a 1223 is found consider this a successful
         '-- call for the password was reset
500      If objXML.Status <> "200" And objXML.Status <> "204" And objXML.Status <> "1223" Then
510          Err.Raise vbObjectError + 12, cMethodName, "There was a problem with the reset password request" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "[" & objXML.Status & "] " & objXML.responseText
520      End If

RESOLVED - this was PEBCAK
 
12007 error is related to not being able resolve the full qualified domain name (FQDN). The error was in the code where the variable sUMServerToResetAgainst did not have a valid address.

Greg,

You posted this last year and I was wondering if you would be willing to share the rest of your code. I have tried similar XMLHTTP PUT requests and I am getting a 415 Unsupported Media Type.

Thanks,
