Problem

No DHL labels can be created. One of the following error messages occurs:


Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen


login failed


Der Nutzer des Webservice konnte nicht authentifiziert werden


Invalid GKP username and/or password


Nutzername oder Passwort nicht korrekt


Cause

All the above error messages indicate the same problem: the DHL server has rejected the login credentials (username / password).


Solution

The login must be configured correctly, or the password might have to be renewed.


Also make sure that two-factor-authentication (2FA) is not enabled for the API user.


Please follow these instructions to configure the DHL login data.
