Description

Sometimes users don't understand why preconfigured and scoped credentials work against one target host, but not for another. Basic, Digest and NTLM schemes shall log a debug message that for a given auth scope no credentials have been found.

This one comes from WAGON-590 where from the debug logs one cannot deduce why auth has failed unless looking into Wagon or HttpClient code.

• is caused by: WAGON-590 Maven 3.5.0+ doesn't seem to send credentials after 301/302 HTTP redirect
