Tuan, yes. Mine is working fine. I was just trying to help David with the ‘Security header not valid’ error he was/is getting.

Could somebody please provide updated instructions on how to make this work?
When I go into Paypal to get the sandbox API, nowhere do I see:
* Sandbox API User (only Sandbox account, as an email address)
* Sandbox API Password
* Sandbox API Signature
In one area of Paypal I see:
* Sandbox account (and email address)
* Client ID (a long string of characters)
* Secret (another long string of characters)
In another area I see:
*Client ID (which is different than the client ID above)
* Secret (which is different than the secret above)
I also have a 'personal' and a 'business' user account (with email and password).
The documentation here for the membership pro paypal payment plugin is NOT accurate and difficult to get working.
NOTE: When I any combination of the above entries and try to cancel a subscription I get the "Security header not valid" as others here.

Thanks. That was a MUCH more helpful link that what is in the current docs.
However, I'm still getting the "Security header is not valid" error.

Wait ... I just checked and username had an extra space at the end.
Now it is working.
BTW ... I tried to update the docs to include this new documentation link at paypal, but clicking on the edit link on the doc takes me to a github 404 error page
