Unbelievable! I missed that in the docs, and didn't see it working that way anywhere in the code (everywhere I looked, it seemed as though the user was being authenticated against the userPassword). I removed the userPassword setting in my Realm and it seems to work as advertised now. Thanks so much! You just put an end to 2 days of pulling out my hair.
