Login error when developing Cumulocity cockpit application

[luclib (Lucas Liberman)]

I am trying to create an application using the cockpit scaffold with the latest c8ycli version: 1018.0.205

I have been following the tutorial for extending existing applications and have been able to build the application; however, when I try to access the application via localhost:9000, the application displays a login and authentication page that does not accept my Cumulocity credentials.

I then tried to implement the changes from the next tutorial to remove the login page and authentication, but I keep getting the same error in my console:

Is your credentials working fine when used directly on tenant?

And how are you starting your local server?

[Stefan_Witschel]

Normally you are prompted for tenantID, username and password of your target tenant. How did you start the local server?

[Robert_Neale]

What does the Network tab of dev tools show for the http 401?

[luclib (Lucas Liberman)]

Yes, I am able to login without a problem onto the Cumulocity tenant.

[luclib (Lucas Liberman)]

Yes, I am prompted for all three of them. I start the local sever with the npm start command.

[Robert_Neale]

Which tenant and which user are you trying to connect to?

[Stefan_Witschel]

You are using npm start -u https://<URLtoYourTenant> right? -u is the important flag that needs to be provided.
Otherwise it will point to demo.cumulocity.com which will not work.

Ah, I forgot about that part. It works now. Danke schon!
