[EP-tech] Re: SWORD and Eprints 3.2 - **SOLVED**

Hi Ian

Look in EPrints::Sword::Utils.  The basic auth header is decomposed there.  There is a regular expression that matches something like \w+:\w+ which break authentication as you've described. I can't see QUT's code at the moment but I think I just replaced the '\w' with '.'.

Cheers
Mark

Thanks for that... yep - it's a basically standard sword.pl document.

Nope - its a normal user account.... just like the other normal user
accounts I have, that CAN authenticate.

What I have discovered it there are two gotcha's here:

1) The username must be [a-zA-Z_] .... 'test-user' fails, 'test_user' is
OK (both can log in though)
2) the password seems to also be Perl word-characters '*password*'
fails, 'qiwueyqw234' is OK (likewise, both can log in)

I'm guessing this is an issue in a handler routine somewhere
