Paypal Permissions API Java SDK: GetBasicPersonalData:Getting Authentication failed

Scenario:

I am using the latest permissions API version 1.1.93 from x.com in sandbox mode. I am using sandbox credentials to test the functionality.

Problem::

The getBasicPersonalData and getAdvancedPersonalData are not working when I run it using Junit. (though getPermissions and cancelPermissions are working fine)

I am getting API credentials are incorrect. Though details are 100% correct

When I am running the sdk provided permission-sample war file with same credentials it works fine.

*I have even copy-pasted the sdk_config.properties file to make sure that I am using the correct properties.*

I also compared the header, paypload and request information, All appear to be exactly the same.

*PS: Please refrain from saying I am using wrong credentials, checked it 1000 times, I am using sandbox creds only, I have been told the same so many times :-) *

Below are the values I get when I call GetBasicPersonalData , used debugging to get these values

Header Value

Now when I use the same access token and token secret from a Junit test I get below equivalent and it gives an error “Authentication failed. API credentials are incorrect.”

I am using exactly the same credentials

We see that the header that is passed is incorrect in the junit test case and that should be the issue.

{X-PAYPAL-REQUEST-DATA-FORMAT=NV, X-PAYPAL-APPLICATION-ID=APP-80W284485P519543T, X-PP-AUTHORIZATION=token=uJvLxPmOCPVQbfVSxkH29I53Q6c5gd6XvY40ygCQxpbpOJOWrWQ-nA,signature=6xe5sVZcHtt2YZtnOBqyor98Tl0=,timestamp=1349383983, X-PAYPAL-DEVICE-IPADDRESS=127.0.0.1, X-PAYPAL-REQUEST-SOURCE=sdk-merchant-java-1.1.93, [email protected], X-PAYPAL-RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=NV}

Change X-PP-AUTHORIZATION to X-PAYPAL-AUTHORIZATION and that should resolve the issue for you. Please refer the header value that you had from the SDK.
