This is a just a quick
BAM portal
configuration tip. If you receive an HTTP 401 Unauthorized error when
connecting to the portal and you are hosting the BAM portal using IIS6,
you may need to configure a service principal name (SPN) for the server
hosting the portal website. This condition occurs if you set up the BAM
portal to use Windows security as the only authentication method.
Instructions for setting up an SPN can be found in the Microsoft
knowledge base.

Hat tip to Andy Morrison’s BizTalk blog for the heads up on this
issue.
