Team,  
I tried to connect the IQ server with azure devops scm to import projects. I used my pat token and azure email address to connect. But all the time i get failed reponse, when i looked at the console to view the response of that particular request, I saw an **SCM\_AUTHN\_FAILURE** in the response json , I made sure that the pat token is having all the permissions thats requried by the IQServer. Did anyone experience the same issue, Can some one help, thanks in advance
