 We followed the documentation in 
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/vilew/Main/RQMURLUtility
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Troubleshooting

We used FireFox ResetClient to invstigate an existing category in order to create an input XML file as specified here:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Generated_ID

We identified the XML presentation of a category using this url:
https://129.35.209.200:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE+Banking+%28Quality+Management%29/category
In order to insert a new category to an active RQM project, we created an XML 


We send the following command:
java -jar RQMUrlUtility.jar -command POST -user clmadmin -password XXXXX -context qm -filepath /home/maroshi/Downloads/RQM-Extras-RQMUrlUtil-4.0.1/categoryPostRequest.xml -url https://129.35.209.200:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE+Banking+%28Quality+Management%29/category/cat1

cat1 is the category type

Our categoryPostRequest.xml context is:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ns2:category 
xmlns:ns2="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/"

    </ns2:category>

We fail with response 401, we do not know how to further investigate and get better diagnostic response.
1. Please advise what is the correct  request URI
2. Please advise what is the content of the correct categoryPostRequest.xml

It's hard to determine the root cause without the QM log.  One thing to check would be if the category type exists. 

Note, a POST request should not contain an external ID (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#id).

Looks like categoryPostRequest.xml did not contain the XML prolog.  If it did, please remove it.

Your request/XML looks good.  The problem is the 401 (Unauthorized) response code suggesting your user does not have sufficient privileges to create categories.
