With the new Qumana v3 out we've seen a few folks having this problem again with MT blogs so a little blast from the past ...

Recently we've been receiving some questions about having problems getting Qumana to work with MoveableType (MT) 3.2 installs.  We didn't think it was us and we were right.  MT has implemented some additional security measures for remote posting.  Here's the answer straight from the Six Apart Knowledgebase:

To provide enhanced security when using third party clients, Movable Type now provides for a separate API password (rather than forcing you to use your normal author login password). Here's how to set up this new password:

  • Log into Movable Type.
  • Click on your username in the top navigational menu to go to your profile.
  • Scroll down to the bottom where you see API Password.
  • Input a password of your choice and save. For security reasons, it should be different from your normal author password.
  • Use the new password in your client software.

Hope this helps everyone.
