SWIS API - "Invalid username or password"

I am working on automating mutes on servers using Orion SDK Powershell module. I am getting username or password errors whenever I use the -Credential or -Username/Password parameters but no issues with -Trusted under my own context. -Trusted is not desired as this task will be ran by a service account. I know the creds I am providing work fine because I can successfully connect via GUI. Any ideas?

$swis = Connect-Swis -UserName user -Password pass -Hostname orion.contoso.com
$nodeUri = Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE SysName LIKE'myserver'"

Get-SwisData : Invalid username or password.
At line:1 char:12
+ $nodeUri = Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE SysN ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Get-SwisData], MessageSecurityException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SwisError,SwisPowerShell.GetSwisData

Things in Orion changed, have you updated your SDK lately? I have a few older installs that have this issue, and the ones on the current version are fine.

Thanks for the reply!
Sadly, I am using the latest version as per https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases

I even tried doing the same using Python with a similar result: requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url

How are you authenticating?

I assume that you are using something like this to auth:
$Creds = Get-Credential
$Swis = Connect-Swis $SwisServer -Credential $Creds

If you are pulling in the password via text, did you convert it to a secure string?

$Swis = Connect-Swis $SwisServer -certificate will work if you run the commands from an Orion server.
