I'm trying to post to blog.mozilla.com using the XML-RPC interface to wordpress: I've tested the script and it works on my own blog, but it has login failure notices on blog.mozilla.com:

XML-RPC URL: https://blog.mozilla.com/meeting-notes/xmlrpc.php
username: bsmedberg@mozilla.com
password: LDAP password

<Fault 403: 'Bad login/pass combination'>

Note: this username/password works if I login through https://blog.mozilla.com/meeting-notes/wp-login.php

Your script is probably missing a param for the method you are using.  For example wp.getPages requires 3 parameters, so the request needs to look like:

<params>
<param>
<value><string></string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><string>bar</string></value>
</param>
<param>
<value><string>foo</string></value>
</param>
</params>

More documentation is here: http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_wp

system.listMethods() should give you a list of all supported xml-rpc methods.

Yah, the problem was that I was passing blogid = '1' (which works for personal blogs but not for large shared installs!)... I dug a little through the API and figured out that meeting-notes is blogid 85.
