The documentation as to how to connect to the hosted OpenERP solution is pretty limited. I've figured out that the correct endpoint is https:// [www.openerp.com/xmlrpc], but when I try to reference the database, I get the response that it doesn't exist when attempting to login via the API.
My assumption is that it is the database name associated with the company that I select. Also I have to assume the login is the email for the user account and not say the associated login name (the non-unique "admin" on the default user).
Are there settings I should be configuring on the user account I am trying to connect with?
Each company gets their own database. Have you tried whatever is to the left of my.openerp.com with the admin user? (after you assign a password). Usernames are unique per database.
Yes - I have been using that (in my case NHD) and yet I am still told that it doesn't exist.
