        Hi pbernardes 

         

        I think you are using your own credentials or some other user credentials for the Connections. So since you enabled the MFA it's started failing . Can you share the error description here ?

         

        Meanwhile why don't you try a service account rather than your account which having the MFA. Assuming that you enabled the MFA the connection needs additional layer of autentication which is not happening. So some workaround is

         

        Either Use a Service account with-out having the MFA enabled or Disable the MFA and check the refresh is getting sucess again.
