How can I fix this?

Solution

Access Error: 401 -- Unauthorized error is caused by a lack of valid authentication credentials for the target resource. To fix this issue make sure that your client PC is included in the browser's list configured in the host Web Server. You can use the Browser Access section on the Web Server page to configure which browser addresses can view your VI front panels. By using * in the Browser access list you are allowing access to all browser addresses.

Additional Information

The Web Server page can be accessed from Tools»Options if working with a regular PC or by right-clicking the target and selecting Properties when working with NI Real-Time controllers (cRIO, PXI, sbRIO, Industrial Controller, etc).
