Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a problem with their Mirror credentials not currently working, I am getting the error of Exception occured when accessing [https://nu.novell.com/repo/repoindex.xml](https://nu.novell.com/repo/repoindex.xml) The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. When I try to access the repo index. Copying and pasting the URL prompts for my Mirror Credentials but they do not give me access, I was able to access this yesterday. I do know of one other person who is experiencing this so I know it’s not restricted to me. By troubleshooting it, it looks as though there is a problem on the end of Novell as everything else is configured correctly. If anybody could share some light on this I would be grateful. Using Suse Enterprise Server 11 SP 2. Cheers, Fran ---

Thanks Malcolm, I did ring them only to be given an email address to contact and they haven’t replied yet so I am at a loss. Cannot retrieve any patches and there is currently 3 outstanding. ---

Hi, still until now, copying&pasting the URLs from my MirrorCredentials doesn’t even prompt me for Username/passwort as I was used to. There’s immediately Error 403 Access denied. I have opened ServiceRequest Service Request: 10821847041 Greetings, Det ---

Meanwhile I’ve set up a testing SMT-Server - he can mirror the URLs from one of my mirror-credentials! BUT SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN CHANGED after the disturbance around March21 Before MArch 21 the URLs have also been accessible with a webbrowser or “wget --http-user=12345678 --http-password=its\_my\_s3cret…” But what if my Subscriptions are spreaded over more than one Customer-Id? Until now I didn’t found a way to use multiple mirror-credentials with a single SMT ☹ Regards, Det ---

I had the same issue. I think it was resolved yesterday or today. It is working for me again.
