Hello,

i have a "little" Problem. There are running a NAV2018 Server in a Hyper V VM. There are running two Databases/two instances.

Webclient / RTC all works fine, now i'm trying publish some extension / dowload AL Symbols.

The Demo NAV Instance is startet with Credential Type UserName. But when in VS Code i try Download Symbols, it says me:

[2018-07-09 12:54:28.85] Sending request to nav18test/.../packages;appName=Application&versionText=11.0.22292.0
[2018-07-09 12:54:28.85] Sending request to nav18test/.../packages;appName=System&versionText=11.0.12925.0
[2018-07-09 12:54:28.85] The request for path /DynamicsNav110/dev/packages?publisher=Microsoft&appName=Application&versionText=11.0.22292.0 failed with code Unauthorized. Reason: Unauthorized
[2018-07-09 12:54:28.85] The request for path /DynamicsNav110/dev/packages?publisher=Microsoft&appName=System&versionText=11.0.12925.0 failed with code Unauthorized. Reason: Unauthorized
The authentication has been cancelled.

Then i tried Start the Instance with Credentials Windows, and Downloading Symbols are fine:

    [2018-07-09 10:58:17.13] Sending request to nav18test/.../packages;appName=Application&versionText=11.0.0.0
    [2018-07-09 10:58:17.13] Sending request to nav18test/.../packages;appName=System&versionText=11.0.0.0
    [2018-07-09 10:58:17.64] All reference symbols have been downloaded.

So. Where is the Differency? Or how i can analyse whats the problem? On Server i can't see any logs that say me that was an unauthorised log attempt.

Or forget i a Config "screw" ? What can i try?

Thanks

Regards

"authentication" must be any one of the following credential type

Windows, UserName, NavUserPassword, AccessControlService. based on your Instance Configuration. Your Instance Credential Type and launch.json authentication should match

Think i have the Solution.

I Started a NAV Instance with Credentials NavUserPassword (After create user in NAV with role Super) , then in Visual Studio Code, Authentication UserName, and it works, Symbols can be download.

So it seems that i can't auth in Visual Studio Code, when the NAV Instance started with Credentials UserName, because in VS Code only i can put AAD, Windows and UserPassword. And UserPassword it's equivalent to NavUserPassword, and i thinked that the equivalent was Username.
