Authentication to remote instance failed on PROD after turning on MFA setup

Hi,

 

I just turned on MFA on QA and tried to migrate source changes to PROD and got this error message " Authentication to remote instance failed. The error reported was "Method failed: (https://qa.service-now.com/sys_update_set.do?SOAP&displayvalue=all&redirectSupported=true)HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized with code: 401". Check saved username and password." 

 

Both instances have the same security patches. MFA is not on PROD it is only in QA. If I turned it off on QA there been no issue to update sources. 

 

Thanks

check if the user you used in Update Source has admin rights in the source instance to pull update sets.
