401.2

Logon failed due to server configuration

Description

Something is wrong with the web server's configuraiton and it will not allow you to log on.

Example

Server Error

401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.

You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.

Error messages will differ depending on the web server and if replaced by the web site designers.

Occurrences

Frequency is relative to other Internet warnings and errors.

Solutions and Fixes

This issue can only be fixed by the web site owner.

Solution 1 of 1 - Notify Webmaster

You might notify the webmaster about the issue. Include the error number and the address (URL) where the error occurred along with any other relevant details.

Many sites use an email address in the form webmaster@sitename.com where you replace sitename.com with the web sites address (don't include a www). Keep in mind with the amount of spam, they may use a different address and/or it might get ignored. Check the websites' contact information to get reliable contact information.

Official Explanation

The logon attempt is unsuccessful because there is a problem with the system configuration.
