1. FIRST SCENARIO
   
   • After entering the credentials to login to SmartEdit, the page shows "Authorization not granted—Invalid request" as below:
     • 
     • Checking in OpenSearch, can find the error message like below:

       • org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorException$Unauthorized: 401 on GET request for "https://127.0.0.1:8088/smarteditwebservices/v1/configurations": "{<EOL> "errors" : [ {<EOL> "message" : "The application has encountered an error",<EOL> "type" : "InsufficientAuthenticationError"<EOL> } ]<EOL>}"

2. SECOND SCENARIO
   • After the upgrade and trying to log in to SmartEdit, the page shows "HTTP Status 404 - Not Found":
     
   • Checking in the Network tab of the developer tools of the browser, one can find the request and response similar to below:
     

     GET https://backoffice.*****-*****-**-public.model-t.cc.commerce.ondemand.com/authorizationserver/oauth/authorize?client_id=smartedit&response_type=code&code_challenge=DGRslEYVrWdho-2FLP2qJaCP_9cnsNMtR4mrcOu90Q4&code_challenge_method=S256&scope=basic%20permissionswebservices  GET client_id: smartedit  response_type: code  code_challenge: DGRslEYVrWdho-2FLP2qJaCP_9cnsNMtR4mrcOu90Q4  code_challenge_method: S256  scope: basic permissionswebservices
