Command tool with password protected database

All,

I have xindice deployed as a war file and need to create an index on it. 
I am using the commandline tool. I have my db url configured correctly. 
However my db is locked down to require a username and password to 
access it. If I use the comandline tool I get a 401 error. How can I 
provide a username and password to this tool?

Thank you very much.

Liz

If you are using commandline tool to connect to database, you need to add -Dxindice.xmlrpc.user=<username> -Dxindice.xmlrpc.password=<password> VM parameters to the command line for executing commandline tool, which is located n either bin/xindice or bin/xindice.bat, depending on your OS.

Liz, 

Username and password are retrieved as system properties. If you are using commandline tool to connect to database, you need to add -Dxindice.xmlrpc.user=<username> -Dxindice.xmlrpc.password=<password> VM parameters to the command line for executing commandline tool, which is located n either bin/xindice or bin/xindice.bat, depending on your OS.

If you're using Xindice 1.2m1 or later, there was a problem with setting username and authentication was not working. It is fixed now and fix is available in latest trunk.

Regards,
Natalia
