Hi,

I am trying to create users and enroll them via the REST API - and it is not working for me.

Since I am using Filemaker (desktop database) to access the API I am restricted to serialized POST calls. I have a token and some calls are successful, I get a valid XML response and can parse it 

...?webservice/rest/server.php?wsfunction=core_enrol_get_enrolled_users&courseid=81&wstoken=XXXXXXXXX

for example returns what I need. So that means the user is created, I can communicate with the server etc.

The following call however returns I error I can not figure out:

...?wsfunction=core_user_create_users&users[0][username]=FakeName&users[0][password]=FakePW&users[0][firstname]=NAME&users[0][lastname]=LastName&users[0][email]=fakeName@gmail.com &wstoken=XXXXX

Returns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<EXCEPTION class="invalid_parameter_exception">

<ERRORCODE>invalidparameter</ERRORCODE>

<MESSAGE>Invalid parameter value detected</MESSAGE>

</EXCEPTION>

I don't know what I am doing wrong here, would very much appreciate any kind of help!

I checked the call with requestBin to see what actually gets send, and as far as I can tell it looks good:

RAW BODY

wsfunction=core_user_create_users&users[0][username]=FakeName&users[0][password]=FakePW&users[0][firstname]=Name&users[0][lastname]=LastName&users[0][email]=FakeName@gmail.com%20&wstoken=4ee08a7ac8f4f6ebb2c86edfff0d36e5

Thanks everybody!
