This is the same error response (401). Check your permissions and licenses since the 401 (Unauthorized) indicates a permissions/licensing issue for user li.chen in RQM project area QM_Pilot.

Thanks Chris.
There is also another work-around in QM: RQM Selenium adapter: Unable to log into server (133282) (comment 4) if the username and/or password cannot be changed.

The adapter did not run, exited unexpectedly, or was killed.
This can happen if java.exe was not found in the PATH,

Do you have any non-alphanumeric characters in your password?

in the extracted directory of the selenium adapter, delete the Config2.ini file and try to restart the adapter. If that doesn't work try re-extracting the adapter from the .zip file. Also, make sure you have the latest adapter from jazz.net RQM all downloads.

Feb 01 '15, 6:45 p.m.Some check points as below first:
1) user li.chen for the adapter has RQM connector or Professional license
2) user li.chen is a member of the specified project area QM_Pilot
3) configuration file must have write permissions in the current working directory
or the directory specified by -configFile option

Feb 01 '15, 9:27 p.m.It appears that you're using Oracle Java 1.8.0_31. Try with IBM Java 6 or 7 and see if it makes any difference (almost all IBM products bundle their own JVM).
