Issue/Introduction

Using GMU browse  command locally on the  gateway ( Destination gateway  ) , gave us misleading error that we usually see with proxy/firewall in between us (client)  and gateway.

Cause

even though error in this case is pointing for possible networking issue  due to "Execution failed. Reason: Unexpected end of file from server" in our case error was misleading and issue was in encoded password 

Environment

Release : 9.4

Component : API GATEWAY

GMU : 1.6.00-729  

Resolution

issue was with the encoded password. 
password that was encoded was wrong. 
so to eliminate it, please try with clear text password first.
