Getting http 401 unauthorized error when the password is correct in the plugin configuration. 

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Virtual Network Assurance For CA Performance Management

Cause

The password had a special character in it '{'. This caused issues parsing the .json files

Resolution

The password had a special character in it '{'. This caused issues parsing the .json files. So you need to escape the special characters in the password in the plugin configuration in the VNA GUI. 

if the password is
PASSWORD)%{PASSWORD

The password would need to be changed to be: 
PASSWORD)%\\{PASSWORD
