Good Authentication
If you do click the authenticate button and all is good with your hostname/url (ex. http://ap-fmeserv190) all you should see is:
Updating access token for ‘ap-fmeserv190’
Please share if you have error codes that you know about and see regularly.

@jlutherthomas @kailinatsafe - We're still getting this error even certificate is still valid. This error is seen while publishing workspace to server from desktop.
Updating access token for 'FME Flow PROD'
Request to update access token failed. HTTP Error: HTTP/1.1 404
Please suggest how to fix this error. Thanks.

@fmeuser_gc We have your case! Thank you for filing it.
One thing that can happen is the use of https:// vs http:// but that is not your issue I don't believe.
- If the FME Flow environment has been configured for https, then use https://<fully qualified domain name>.
- You can test using the URL from the browser where you access the FME Flow Web UI and copy that into FME Form.
- You can also try the hostname (test with both http & https) as this can sometimes help instead of using the FQDN. Occasionally users are not able to route directly to the hostname and must use FQDN. If this is the case, involve the Network Team and see if you can uncover any issues there.
- Creating a new connection can resolve the issue... but if this issue persists, it is best to file a case with us (as you have done).
- There can be hiccups that are very intermittent. These are hard to diagnose or determine if it is Software or Environment at fault.
