Hi Charlie, I originally was using a URL like "http://localhost:1981/cron/schedTask.cfm"; to run the scheduled task. So that was the URL I specified in CF Admin. That threw 401 to me.
Also I tested from the browser by accessing the same URL which is " http://localhost:1981/cron/schedTask.cfm"; (normal and icognito mode) and it is working fine. So now I have to update the URL to use the server's public IP address in CF Admin and it works. I don't understand why CF running locally on the same server has to use the external IP, I mean not the localhost to run the sched task that is also on the same server? Given that localhost is also in the host file.
