I'm having trouble trying to select my SP 2013 on-prem system. Even as Site Collection admin, I can't pass the sign-in page. 

Our farm is using ADFS with a web form (federated with our Office 365 tenant). In the log files, I see the following:

[] Check on-prem credential fails for user xyz@domain.com, site https://ouronpremsiteURL
Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.MigrationLib.SharePoint.MigSPCredentialException: Credential Issue when doing SP Query --->
Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.MigrationLib.Common.Web.WebCredentialException --->  System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

The next lines in the log are:

[] Check on-prem credential fails for user xyz@domain.com, site https://ouronpremsiteURL
Microsoft.SharePoint.MigrationTool.MigrationLib.SharePoint.MigSPServerException: Server Issue when doing SP Query ---> 
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientRequestException: Cannot contact site at the specified URL https://ouronpremsiteURL

Any ideas on how come the SPMT isn't working for me?

Thanks,

Dan
