[EP-tech] Re: SWORD and Eprints 3.2

Hi Ian,
There's nothing special about authentication on SWORD, it calls $session->valid_login() which then call your optional $c->{check_user_password} (defined in cfg.d/user_login.pl) or $database->valid_login() for local auth. 

So yes, this should just work.

Seb.

As I understand the way EPrints works, the following should "just work"

1) Create a user account through the admin interface
2) Test the user can log in
3) Download http://server.address/sword-app/servicedocument

.... but when I enter the username and password (confimed that they work
in step 2), I get knocked back!

There's nothing in ....cfg.d/sword.pl about users authentication.

Am I right - this should just work?
If not - what's the magic to enable access for users?
