Release Management does not work with Windows 8.1 Credentials

I have a Release Management Update 4 Server, running under a domain account. I can connect to it from domain laptop, but when I tried to do the same from a non-domain workstation, despite having added my domain credential to Windows Credentials as per this article, the client app claims that the current user does not have access to Release Management. From the same workstation I can log into the web interface for RM. I also tried this approach.

Any pointers how could I troubleshoot this issue?

Actually the second link provided correct answer:

The first option is to use the domain account of the user and add that to Release Management together with the local username:

Add the domain account for the user to Release Management as both a Release Manager and a Service User. Add the username that the user is using on his local pc to Release Management as a Service User (and as a Release Manager if the user should be a Release Manager).

So for example, my local pc is running under an account named Wouter and my domain account is WdK1111. This means that I need to add both WdK1111 and Wouter to Release Management. Make sure to add Wouter without any machine name in front of it. Just add it as a plain username. You also don’t have to create a local shadow account named Wouter.

It only worked after I have changed my domain account to be Service User and Release Manager.

I have also disabled going through proxy servers in my proxy config file. Just in case.
