<div class='note info'>
As of version 6.43 of RouterOS Mikrotik introduced a new login method (plain) in addition to the old login method (token). With Version 6.45.1 the old token login method got deprecated.
In order to support both login mechanisms, the new config option `login_method` has been introduced. If this option is not set, the component will try to login with the plain method first and the token method if that fails.
That can cause log entries on the router like `login failure for user homeassistant from 192.168.23.10 via api` but doesn't keep the component from working.
To get rid of these entries, set the `login_method` to `plain` for Routers with OS versions > 6.43 or `token` for routers with OS versions < 6.43.

## Use a certificate ## Use a certificate
To use SSL to connect to the API (via `api-ssl` instead of `api` service) further configuration is required at RouterOS side. You have to upload or generate a certificate and configure `api-ssl` service to use it. Here is an example of a self-signed certificate: To use SSL to connect to the API (via `api-ssl` instead of `api` service) further configuration is required at RouterOS side.
