I tried connect Visual Studio Code to my ERP hosted on my server. It was not successful when I download the Symbol

Error:

Authorization has failed or the credentials have expired. The credential cache has been cleaned. Any access to reach Business Central would require new authorization."

I can access the URL of dev port:

I cleared the cache, but it did not solve

Where did I configure wrong ?

Thanks.

Hello,

yzhums uses Windows authentication while you are using UserPassword for the authentication. UserPassword requires NavUserPassword for the NST authentication and probably also SSL cert.

I would bet that this causing the issue.

Thank you.

Hi, Some settings are required when linking On-Pre environments. Please check the following.

And most importantly, the port below is not a client port, but a development port.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
