Hi Priyanka, I'm also still facing this issue, even with URI encoded parameters and correct credentials. Did you manage to fix it?   Kind regards, Fabian

I have two applications deployed and I missed the resource-ref entry in the web.xml of one of the web applications, but I needed it in both. So it wasn't related to spring at all.Hope that helps someone.

I have the same issue (also without spring-boot, just spring framework). Any news on that?
