Hello,

Are there limitations (password length for instance, case sensitivity issues on 
the username) on the user/password used on system_hasync.php page to reach the 
peer?

I started setting this up while the peer (secondary) still had admin as 
username (fresh after setup), and a long complex password. The configuration 
synchronized, but with a warning about authentication. I first thought: OK this 
is expected because the primary I'm copying has 'admin' disabled (not allowed 
to login) and another user name is used as the real admin. I could understand 
as soon as users had been synced there might be an authentication error, 
afterwards.

So I updated on system_hasync.php, but now I keep getting "An authentication 
failure occurred while trying to access https://....";. And the newer settings 
just don't sync.

Checked username and password 3 times, looks good while entering it in 
system_hasync.php and is fine for logging interactively or at the console.

The alternate username has caps in the name. And the password is longer than 
usual, but reasonable (>20 chars and <25 chars).

I'm aware of this: "XMLRPC sync is currently only supported over connections 
using the same protocol and port as this system - make sure the remote system's 
port and protocol are set accordingly!" and took care that both are identical.

A bit puzzled.
