publisher passing 401 authentication error to localhost dispatcher

also do you see any error in the dispatcher.log

Hi,

what happens when you try to access the URL directly on the publish instance, does it require authentication?

When you try any other content, does it result in the same errors?

If you still have geometrixx, any issues accessing that content?

Have you selected SSL as default in 'transport' tab when you have set the flush agent in publish ?

Hi,

I am facing same problem and I can access the URL directly on browser. But when the dispatcher is calling the AEM Publisher I see:

org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator handleLoginFailure: Unable to authenticate admin: UserId/Password

I checked the AEM Publish Dispatcher Flush and Test Connection is successful.

On access log I see when I hit the URL from browser, it serves 200 Ok and user is "anonymous". When the same is triggered internally from dispatcher to publisher, I see "-" (none) user

I did select SSL as default in 'Transport' tab when I set the flush agent in publish.

Here it identifies the request user as anonymous, unlike when it does not work in first case. This also shows a different version of java.
