Problem using /oauth/token REST API

Help
1

Hi,

I am trying to use the “/oauth/token” REST API to verify user’s password.
This API always return HTTP 401, even when the user&password provided are valid.
Is there a special configuration I need to enable for this API?

Here is the HTTP details:

Request:
POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 160
Host: xxx.auth0.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
“client_id”: “client_id”,
“grant_type”: “password”,
“password”: “123456”,
“scope”: “scope123”,
“username”: “myemail@mail.com”
}
** Response **:
HTTP/1.1 401
