If you encounter errors authenticating a connection in BlueConic, there are a few steps you can take to correct the problem.
How to resolve authentication errors in BlueConic connections
|
In your web browser:
|
- Do a hard refresh on your browser window:
- Mac: Command + Shift + r
- Windows: Control + F5
- Clear your cache or browser cookies.
- Check the browser console when attempting to authenticate to check for an error that might indicate what is wrong.
- Check your browser extensions to see if any of them are blocking authentication, in particular any ad blockers.
- Try authenticating the connection again.
|
In the system you're connecting to:
|
- Make sure that your credentials are current, correct, and have not been removed.
- Try testing your credentials in the system you're connecting to. For example, if you're having trouble authenticating the SFTP Connection, try connecting to the server with a different client. If the authentication also causes a problem there, the issue is related to the server, not BlueConic. If you can connect to the server with a different client, the problem may be related to BlueConic.
Note: Authentication errors with Facebook Advertising Connection can occur if you have not accepted Facebook's terms of service via your Facebook business account. Learn more here.
- Reset your login credentials and try authenticating the connection again.
- Log out of the external system and log back in.
- Try authenticating the connection again.
|
On your network or local system:
|
- Check your network security settings to see if a VPN or firewall is blocking the authentication.
- Check the console window or task manager for errors.
- Try authenticating the connection again.
|
In BlueConic:
|
- Log out of BlueConic.
- Log into the external system in another browser tab.
- Then log back into BlueConic and try to authenticate again.
- Make sure you enter your credentials precisely, with no spaces at the beginning or end of the string, correct URLs, etc.
