Hello
Trying hardly to get the node ibmiot connected..
As "Authentification" I have to chose "API Key".
I have to insert an API Key which I am generating on the IBM platform (is there anything I can do wrong there?)
As "API Token" I am inserting the Authentication Token I got by registering IBM Cloud.
I have a server name but don't know what is the "Application ID" (if it's required)[Screenshot1](https://files.mycloud.com/home.php?seuuid=474ba2fdcceb4decf273e4807db3cba3&name=IBM01&brand=webfiles)

Thank you for helping
