The existing url encoded stable updates credentials were not found by zypper from within the Web-UI hosted command environment. Fix by moving to explicit file storage of credentials using the default location for credentials.global.dir, see: /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. zypper url modifications required: - Remove in-line password. - Activate built in global dir credentials retrieval via "credentials=". - Explicitly assert basic http auth via "auth=basic". N.B. The 'user' element is still required within the url.

Thanks to forum member GeoffA for confirming the efficacy of this authorisation change by patching an existing install and subscribing successfully re authentication. Matching web server logs were examined and no 401's were found. |

@FroggyFlox As this is pretty important and looks to at least help, and we have confirmation of it's function I'll merge and get this out. |

Testing
An existing 4.0.2-0 Release candidate 3 was patched in place and updated successfully via Web-UI to 4.0.3-0 (RC3) via:
The last step in this case undoes the proposed changes but proves the ability of a patched 4.0.2-0 to subscribe to and update from the Stable channel.
During development and the above proof of function the Stable channel web server logs were monitored for evidence of any 401 access indicating the prior issue detailed failure to authenticate.
