Be sure you’re passing `session_token` and not `session_id`, and also that you do not include the quotation marks around the `session_token` value returned from `POST /user/session`, e.g.,

**Request**

```
POST /user/session { "email": "user@domain.com", "password": "password" }

```

**Response**

```auto
{
  "session_token":"blahblah",
  "session_id":"yaddayadda",
  "id":47,
  "name":"User Name",
  "first_name":"User",
  "last_name":"Name",
  "email":"user@domain.com",
  "is_sys_admin":false,
  "last_login_date":"2015-10-22 11:50:27",
  "host":"console"
}

```

In this case you would provide the following value in subsequent calls:

```
X-DreamFactory-Session-Token: blahblah

```

If you confirm this and still receive this error, please post your full request and response.
