We have been trying to use the visual studio extension from https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator/cf-vs-extension but get an error when logging in.

Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path “. Line 0 position 0.

The error message in the uaa logs come from the filter called BackwardsCompatibleTokenEndpointAuthenticationFilter in the uaa code:

[2015-05-14 20:26:41.209] uaa - 14916 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] .... DEBUG --- BackwardsCompatibleTokenEndpointAuthenticationFilter: Authentication request for failed: org.springframework.security.authentication.BadCredentialsException: No client authentication found. Remember to put a filter upstream of the TokenEndpointAuthenticationFilter.
[2015-05-14 20:26:41.211] uaa - 14916 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] .... DEBUG --- DefaultOAuth2ExceptionRenderer: Written [error="unauthorized", error_description="No client authentication found. Remember to put a filter upstream of the TokenEndpointAuthenticationFilter."] as "application/json" using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter(a)60f269ce]

Has anyone else tried the cf-vs-extention on their private CF environments and have you seen this problem?
