Cancel that it DOES NOT work on local either. In the previous post it worked I believe because I still had the old controller. Now that I have deleted the controller puttilng the call function back in the default controller, and moving the getmeeting function to a model file, i am not able to access in the dev server or the productiontion server. I am 100% sure the credentials are correct, but cannot figure out why the authentication is not happening.
