Unable to npm login/adduser

I've attempted to follow your examples after using a trial version of Proget and followed the instructions but I am unable to use npm adduser or login to authenticate and publish a package. I have done both:

    npm config set @XXX:registry http://xxxname/npm/registry
    npm config set always-auth true --scope:@xxx
    npm login --loglevel silly

and

    npm adduser --registry=http=http://xxxname/npm/registry/ --loglevel silly

It returns something like:

npm verb adduser before first PUT { _id: 'org.couchdb.user:uxteam',
npm verb adduser   name: 'someteam',
npm verb adduser   password: 'XXXXX',
npm verb adduser   email: 'x@xxx.com',
npm verb adduser   type: 'user',
npm verb adduser   roles: [],
npm verb adduser   date: '2017-04-05T16:20:15.940Z' }
npm verb request uri http://xxxname/npm/registry/-/user/org.couchdb.user:uxteam
npm verb request new user, so can't send auth
npm info attempt registry request try #1 at 9:20:15 AM
npm verb request id fb33501355d49a49
npm http request PUT http://xxxname/npm/registry/-/user/org.couchdb.user:uxteam

and just hangs.

I've verified that the user is in the system and also tried using the default admin user.

Any help would be appreciated.

Product: ProGet
Version: 4.7.9

P.S. I forgot to mention that we're using the dockerized Linux beta implementation...

There's a bug we haven't been able to figure out where the Linux version of ProGet doesn't respond to requests for URLs with colons in them.
