The HTTP 407 error indicates that the request failed because the proxy server between the user and the destination server requires authentication, but valid credentials were not supplied. The repmsg_id 16 is a specific message identifier that can help pinpoint the cause of the failure, although the main issue remains unchanged: the proxy server is denying access until authentication is completed.
Resolution: Ensure the correct user with the correct password is used in the explicit proxy policy. |
