[arin-tech-discuss] Would anybody explain what Unauthorized means?

[Zhao, Sean]

Hi,
                I was trying to swip an ip 198.36.189.64/29. I was expecting an error return from Arin because this ip has been assigned already. But when I was trying to assign this ip, the error message I got from Arin is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<error xmlns="http://www.arin.net/regrws/core/v1">
<additionalInfo/><code>E_AUTHENTICATION</code>
<components/>
<message>The API key is not authorized to make that request.</message>
</error>

Somehow that does not make sense to me because this was assigned by me last week. That means I do have good APIKEY. I am trying to work on the error handling. So I am expecting to get error like "this ip has been assigned already" or "overlaps with existing network(s)".

Thanks
