Hi David,

you forgot to add
<childtrigger name="authid"/>

to the authentication element.

Best regards,

Geert

I am having some trouble getting RIFE's memory users authentication to work.
My application is a reporting package which will eventually have
database-driven authentication. However, in order to get there, I have to set up the user/role tables in Postgresql. I have written a Java backend which will hopefully do this, and I want access to this functionality to be restricted via an admin user whose details are held in rep/ users.xml. I am getting to the point where my site entry menu comes up ok, and clicking on its "install" link gives me the correct login page as expected. I then enter the correct details (using clear text passwords for now, eventually want MD5). RIFE then checks the details against the users file and I continually get the "invalid user details" message (<!--B 'INVALID:credentials'-->Invalid user details<!--/B--> has been invoked). Looking at what's sent over HTTP I
see:

login    : admin        
password        : thepassword   
triggerlist :           
childrequest : dXNlcnNldHVwL2luc3RhbGwueG1seABHRVRtAA== 
submissioncontext : LklOU1RBTExeLkFVVEhNRU0=    
submission : credentials        

all of which seem correct to me. I have appended the relevant files I'm using
to the end of this message.  I'm at a loss as to why seemingly correct
details are rejected, and how I might go about debugging this. Can anyone
help?

Thanks,

David Herbert.
