Problem
The SMC shows an error on SMC Ribbon despite showing a properly configured connection to the Secure X under the Secure X settings (Secure X and SSE)
Solution
Due to the additional privileges needed to utilize the ribbon, API credentials must be regenerated with the expanded scopes selected and applied to the SMC.

Step 3. Click Generate API Client

Step 5. Click Add New Client
Step 6. Enter the generated Client API ID and Key to the SMC Secure X Settings Page
