Microsoft Dynamics CRM SOAP "The credential is blocked." When authenticating using Windows Live ID

Question

Hi I'm connecting to dynamics online using SOAP in C# to add custom entities. The login type being used is a windows live account.

I'm running into an odd error when i try and connect to the server atm, it seems to have just start with little explanation.

When i try and authenticate using windows live I get an xml responce [posted at end] containing an error saying "The credential is blocked."However when i try and connect with a fake username i know is invalid i get "The entered and stored passwords do not match."

I've checked my xml responses and my device is registering fine. Its just the authenticating bit.

Is there a chance the crm has blocked this log in somehow (it still works for logging into the crm itself, just not with this soap log in) ?

Is there a way of white listing a username?

Here is the xml i am sending to get the security tokens:

Answer 1

My problem fixed itself when i got rid of the newline in the c# code between: and i guess the xml might of been putting in a new line character there.

I also removed the tag:" uIDPozBEz+P/wJdOhoN2XNauvYcAAAAAK0Y6fOjvMEqbgs9ivCmFPaZlxcAnCJ1GiX+Rpi09nSYACQAA " as it wasn't needed, (may of been breaking it but i doubt it)
