MXServerRemoteImpl (Incompatible magic value 169877536)

Recently several of our servers have been complaining about an “Incompatible magic value” when we try to connect with the TRM Rules Manager IDE, Eclipse. We narrowed it down to an application issue and specifically the way that the ear file is built. Everything worked as expected when we do not use Application server security but when we enable Application Server security we get the incompatible magic value error.
After contacting TRM it turns out that this is related to the use of the FORM auth-method instead of the BASIC auth-method. The different between FORM and BAISC is that instead of getting the clean looking IBM Maixmo login page you get a generic looking browser prompt to enter your user name and password, but Eclipse can connect. 

Troubleshooting this issue required me to grow my ANT knowledge so I wanted to include some of the links I found along the way.
This link is a hack of sorts in that it is a directory and not a html page that represents all of the ANT commands.
