You're right in your assumption that the test area doesn't
use real data. The only domains that will show up as
registered in the test area are those that people have
registered during their testing. Many people early on registered
some "common" names just for grins.
As to why you can't authenticate to the live server, more
than likely it's an indication that OpenSRS hasn't completed
processing your test results and your account hasn't yet been
added to the live server. Once it is, your private key will
be different between the two servers (well...initially they're
the same, but you should re-generate new keys, which will
cause them to go their separate ways).

Subject: Who is problem
Hi. We're in the process of setting up the scripts, and have passed the test
to go live, and although they seem to run fine in the test environment, we
notice that the domains being searched come back as available when we know
they are registered. however searching for big domains such as
microsoft.com, or java.com show up predictably as taken, although it
suggests java.org is available. I presume therefore that the test environ's
Whois data is not current. So, I seeked to change the server from test to
rr-n1-tor, but now am getting the authentication error. I've tried
recreating the key and reinserting it but no joy. Anything else that could
be wrong?
