Hello,  
After enabling auth via cwmp.auth \> Config my client is unable to connect even if the challenge is solved :  
Server response :

```auto
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 12
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="GenieACS",qop="auth,auth-int",nonce="f346fcfee63081c4a4c907e90e596615"
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2022 12:27:51 GMT
Connection: close

Unauthorized

```

client headers

```auto

SOAPAction: 

```

But the server is replying with a 401 Unauthorized again and sent a new challenge :

```auto
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Content-Length: 12
WWW-Authenticate: Digest realm="GenieACS",qop="auth,auth-int",nonce="cb1196759cd6e7c4b503136da168989f"
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2022 12:27:52 GMT
Connection: close

Unauthorized

```

I can’t see any problem in the client response ?
