Gateway 401 Unauthorized errors typically happen when authentication tokens are mismatched across config files, service scripts, and CLI surfaces. Auditing these token surfaces identifies the specific misalignment causing the authentication failures.

To align gateway tokens, audit all authentication token surfaces, propagate a single valid token across config files and startup scripts, and run post-change validation steps to verify authentication success. This ensures consistent access across deployment surfaces.

A gateway token surface audit inspects auth, remote, and service tokens across config, service, and CLI environments to identify mismatches. It specifies which token surfaces require inspection to diagnose authentication failures and restore valid access.

Yes, safe recovery workflows restore gateway access without exposing credentials by applying alignment and verification steps. These workflows propagate a single token across config and scripts while validating authentication success without printing sensitive values.

Verify gateway authentication after a token update by running post-change validation steps to confirm authentication success. This involves checking the service startup sequence and CLI surfaces to ensure the newly propagated token resolves previous 401 errors.

Diagnose gateway token mismatches when persistent 401 errors survive service restarts across typical deployment scenarios. If authentication failures stem from config and CLI token misalignment, targeted token surface alignment is required to restore reliable access.
