    Symptoms

    • You are trying to install the Acronis Cyber Protect 15 Agent manually
    • The installation fails with "Failed to connect to machine 'https://***.***.***.***:9877'. HTTP status code: 402"

       

     

    Solution

    When you are entering credentials, use a token rather than the user credentials.

    Step 1

    • Generate a secure token:

    1. In Cyber Protect Console, click on "Devices":

    2. Click on "Add":

    3. Scroll to the bottom:

    4. Click on "Generate":

    5. Choose a lifetime for the token:

    6. Click on "Generate Token"

    7. Copy the Token:

     

    Step 2

    • Install the agent:

    1. Run the Installer as an administrator

    2. Click on "Proceed"

    3. Choose "Install a protection Agent" and click on "Install"

    4. On The Management Server connection screen:

     

    • Input IP/FQDN of your Management Server:

    • Input the token you have generated earlier:

    5. Click on "Done" and allow the Installation to complete:
