    1. mind mentioning the error message?

    2. you can always choose to use a gateway and  to skip the connection test on the gateway, although that is not recommended.

    Hi lbendlin thank you for responding.

     

    Two important notes:

    • 1) the site can only be accessed internally... e.g. mycompany.database.com, which can only be accessed by UN and PW (see note on the auth header)
    • 2) errors out is the wrong verbiage. the refresh essentially times out (freezes etc) when using the web client to refresh in any mode (anonymous, basic etc). I've tried skipping the connection.
