I've attempted to use a password manager and auth manager and failed
in the past, so this is only a guess, but presumably, between the
realm and uri that you are providing to the password manager, it isn't
providing a password for the page you want to load. I've had success
just explicitly setting the authorization header, using the method
discussed in the comments on this page:
