Hi @Jay,

The Error Code 400 corresponds to a "Bad Request" from the server side. The error arises as there is no Endpoint from MathWorks to authenticate you using a Post Request on the URL you have mentioned.

I understand that you are trying to authenticate by creating a Local IdP, for which you will need to create an YAML file which looks similar to the following:

identityProviders:
  - id: "local"
    type: "local"
    displayName: "local"
    accounts:
      - subjectId: "admin"
        displayName: "Admin"
        password: "admin"
        groups: ["admin"]
        extra: {}
      - subjectId: "stateful"
        password: "stateful"
        extra: {}

Kindly refer to the following documentation to learn more about configuring server authentication for "MATLAB Online Server"

Hope this helps!
