I've got the same problem. 
Just gonna keep an eye here, in case you figure it out.

I am able to solve this problem, In my case credential encryption was not correct. using owershell i was not able to encrypt credentials correctly.
To solve this i used C# code from below sample to encrypt credentials. So I created C# console application and use that .exe to encrypt credentials.
