Glad that worked for you Paul :) Sounds like the exact issue. >> Can anyone see a downside to this?
It's less secure.... and I guess now everyone on ozmoss knows you are using Basic Auth? muahahahaha. Just kidding - read the warning message stating username password being sent across as plain text. For a site running over the Internet it's probably best to have a look at SSL certificates on the site if you will be leaving it as Basic Auth. But I'm no security expert... It's unlikely anyone will be doing anything malicious to get username/passwords, but you never know.
