I created a new user and assigned the proper roles to that user but still unable to use that login for the gateway or designer. Login failed for "The username/password combination entered in invalid". I know I'm spelling it correct because I tried multiple times and created other users. I created the user under user source named default. The user I'm currently logged in as has Administrator role. Version: 8.1.7

Are the gateway and designer **using** that user source? If anyone used the password reset function, and didn't clean up after themselves, you might still be using a temporary user source.

Designer project properties user source is "default". In the gateway config/security/General the system identity provider is something else. That mismatch might be my issue...

Thank you for your help.
