CA Workload Automation Agent for Application Services
Cause
The initial connection failed with 401 Unauthorized "Invalid user name or password".
The commons_wrapper_log.log has the complete sequence: - POST sent - 401 Unauthorized response received - POST sent - socket disconnected with no response
The default setting is to retry failed connections 3 times, but the server seems configured to disconnect instead of responding when retries come in too quickly .
The default retry setting can be changed by adding this line to the agent's agentparm.txt and restarting the agent:
http.client.retry=0
Note - The default value used to be 0, but the underlying libraries changed and the default became 3. You need to restart the agent for the change to be effected.
