Registry refused the credentials

auth_failed

The registry refused these credentials.

What this means​

The credentials are wrong or expired, or they belong to an account that cannot read this image.

How to fix it​

Check the username and token, and that they can read this image in the registry.

Retry behavior​

Sending the same credentials again gets the same answer.

How it appears in the response​

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.
