Solution
The Search Server authentication protocol is based on HTTP 401 status code responses to unauthenticated requests. Clients that are capable of complying with the protocol know how to make authenticated requests based on the failed-authentication requests.? Thus the sequence of failed request followed by successful request is normal in an authenticated Tealeaf system.
