Can't create API Token - Error 400

[bobyonekenobi86]

Dear Forum,

I would like to create an api Token for pve user, but I receive the following error message:

Error
Parameter verification failed (400)
tokenid: value does not match the regex pattern.

I already made an apt update and full-upgrade and a restart but still.

Could someone please assist?

Thanks and Regards,

how are you trying to create the API token? over the GUI? what are you trying to use as tokenid?

Hi Fabian!

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I am trying from the GUI. From Chrome, I click: Datacenter -> Permissions ->API Tokens -> Add
I am choosing my created api@pve user ( Path: /, PVEAdmin), I am adding a random 20 character string (uppercase, lowercase, numbers) as Token ID, and I press Add.

After these the mentioned error comes.

the regex the token-subid needs to match is qr/[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9\.\-_]+/ - did you maybe start with a digit? or included some special character?

Wow! Excellent! Thank you!
The random string started with a number. I modified it, and it created it like charm!

Thank you so much, and have a pleasant day!
