Resolution

SQL server integration services is a product by Microsoft. Such issues were already reported by other customers, it looks like a Microsoft issue, as the same connection works nicely in other tools, or the browser.

We do not have a concrete solution for this. but below information may help:

1. Just to be sure: verify, that the password is correct. connection tests often do a technical connection test only, that is: look, if the server is reachable, but do not use the credentials to really authenticate.

Hence a typo in the username/password would not be detected by such a test.

2. It could help to enter the URL directly in a browser and provide the basic authentication credentials as queried to the browser. if something is returned, it is in fact working.

3. Some SSIS issues are discussed here: MSDN forum:
