Local Account Authentication Failure

Hello All,

I have a local admin account used to move update sets between instances. We have recently moved from Eureka - > Fuji in Dev and Test instances. Right now when am trying to import update sets from the DEV instance I get the following error:

Error Info:

Authentication to remote instance failed

Check saved username and password


Pop up Box Error:

Authentication to remote instance failed. Error reported was "Method failed: (https://asknowdev.service-now.com/sys_update_set.do?SOAP&displayvalue=all&redirectSupported=true)HTT... 401 Unauthorized with code: 401". Check saved username and password


This has worked always but stopped after we moved to Fuji. We have reset the password and checked user name & pass but still getting the error. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Servicenow have found out that actually the Company associated to the local account has been deactivated hence causing the error described. Just need to activate company associated to the account and it should work. Hope this helps anyone going through the same and asking themselves, why it does not work if I have the right credentials! haha!

Hi David, it could be that someone changed the password of the account in Development or someone changed the password been set in Test to pull the update sets from Dev.



Have you tried re-setting in your Test Data Sources your user/password authentication information to pull the update sets from dev?




Thanks,

You may also want to validate that your user/password are correct by logging into Dev to ensure these are right.
