You're using the wrong setting in your script: your first (working) example 
uses "username" and "password", but your second (broken) example uses 
"190:string" and "191:string".  Use "username" and "password" and everything 
should be fine.

(The username setting is actually 175.190 and password is 175.191  It would  
work to use "175.190:string" instead of "username", but you may as well use 
the more meaningful "username".)
