Shotgun / Shotgrid with Autodesk accounts?

Deadline
1

Should this just work?

https://docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/products/deadline/10.1/1_User%20Manual/manual/event-shotgun.html#create-the-api-script-in-shotgun

The docs don’t mention the Autodesk PAT that now need generating

ShotGrid End User Account Setup | ShotGrid | Autodesk Knowledge Network

Once past this hurdle it should work as before? or does it require other options enabling?

Should I now being using the profile login name, or the email associated with the Autodesk account?

I have ‘In Good Standing’ on my Autodesk profile status

Connection settings are as usual (this worked prior to switch over). I’ve tried username / email / SSL on and off, creating new API script

I’ll plod on with this and see if I can find what I’m doing wrong

Is this a script user or a human user?

Script users work without a change (they do not have a PAT). You only pass their name, so your example seems correct. The key seems a bit short…

Not sure about human users - I think you’d have to pass the PAT when authenticating with shotgun_api3.shogun.

Thanks Mois,

I am a human, although admittedly I haven’t taken a Voight-Kampff or even a Turing test for some time, although I pass Captcha’s OK.

From what I understand the PAT allows Legacy access for the API

I set the API key as per the instructions

I’ve changed the key so that’s correct, I think Deadline crops the length to hide it.

I’m using the antg account when running the Event test
Scripts > Integration > Test Integration

The Deadline docs are dated now as the ‘scripts’ menu is in a different location
Shotgun — Deadline 10.1.20.2 documentation.

The Repo is set-up as direct connect, easy mode, no RCS / Secrets / Certificates, so I’ve not read into this part.

I’m sure I’m over looking something obvious.

It’s exactly the same setup as we have… and it works here.
By the way I see the script is called deadline_integration, not deadline. But that’s probably just your example.

yeah, I have both deadline and deadline_integration (as shown in last screengrab) to check it wasn’t a required variable, and to create a ‘fresh’ key.

I’m running latest 10.1.20.2

Perhaps you could test authentication in a small isolated script. Check how the Shotgun integration does it, and extract just the relevant parts. Could also get more debug information this way.
Another thing I’m wondering, the shotgun_api3 version distributed with Deadline might be old.

You can test scripts in a deadline context by running them with deadline command:

deadlinecommand.exe -ExecuteScript my_login_script.py

This way you could even get the settings and everything from Deadline, to be closer to the actual process.

I have a login python script and that works ok

I’ve tested with my Autodesk account antg@email.com on a new .shotgrid.autodesk.com account and it works, but trying to use it on a legacy .shotgunstudio.com account doesn’t work.

I used the same legacy password setting, and also used the same Personal Authentication Token.

It seems maybe the issue is with the legacy account (shows antg not antg@…com.) or URL

Oh ok, there was something about setting accounts in the autodesk panel and the shotgrid user management. Don’t remember the details, however. You better ask on the ShotGrid forum.

Thanks, I’m having a search through the posts there, I wonder if it’s cert based issues?

I’m not in a rush for this as it seems to only affects the older site

(I’ve done the PAT bits)
