Using this description from IBM Connections 4.5, I try to get Microsoft Live Writer (from the Windows Essentials 2012 package) to connect to Connections 4.5. My Connections blog does have the BlogClient API setting activated, but I can't seem to get my settings right.
As my blog URL I use the full URL to the connection blog at the format
https://<connections url>/blogs/0f787572-d8f8-4932-9e82-2ce047b1a9b7
Then I enter my username and password, and click Next. I choose "Metaweblog API" as my blogtype and use the following as the URL:
https://<connections url>/blogs/services/xmlrpc
When I click next, I only get an instant answer that my username or password is wrong. Does anybody see any errors in the specification above?
