I have used the ‘http activity’ extensively with https. Can you post the settings (blurring out sensitive info) in postman compared to uipath? If it works in one then it should work in both, you just have to make sure the settings are the same ---

One finding i noticed, the issue is with that one particular machine. What could be the reason for issue in machine2? I have done preview in **machine1** : (xml is triggered as expected) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/7/a/7a35d7ac3b504de5c98746c1fc33870670ad6d5d.png) **Machine2** preview (issue, XML not triggering) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/c/6/c6c432e43480ddfaf85679dcd8d4189aa012418b.png) ---

Is it a different user in machine2? If so, make sure that user is authenticated properly. Does it work on machine2 if you use soapui or other tools? ---

yes machine2 is different user. Authentication means? what you are referring here? Please explain. I cold not check post man tool from machine2 as there is some internal restrictions ---

Make sure machine2 user is allowed to access that API. This means with simple authentication (username, password), or with integrated/SSO authentication (usually with Active Directory), or other various ways of authentication. If the authentication method is simple authentication, you could try using machine1’s username and password to validate if the problem is the machine or the user ---
