  RPE Schema discovery wizard fails when discovering RQM
  schema using REST 2 interface for data exposed using OSLC.
  

Problem conclusion

• The authentication type set in the UI was not used in the
  back-end and RPE was always using the automatic loging
  mechanism which failed. The error was fixed and RPE now
  correctly uses the authentication type set in the browse.
  

Temporary fix
