XMLRPC Woes
I am trying to drive VCL via XMLRPC and am having a lot of trouble. I
have correctly attached the X-User, X-Pass, and X-APIVERSION headers
along with my HTTP transport, with the following values:
X-User: admin@Local
X-Pass: thecorrectpassword
X-APIVERSION is correct
I know most of it's working because the error message I get is:
xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 6: 'Unable to authenticate passed in X-User'>
Which line of code verifies this value?
Any ideas why this isn't working?
Thanks!

The second of the two cases are occurring, and it would appear the
$authtype is not being set. I have commented out the statements in
the else{} at the bottom so it would not bail even if it doesn't find
an auth type. Now VCL is returning an HTTP error 500 when I make a
call to XMLRPCtest() although the auth check is bypassed.
What should I do now?
Thanks!

Brian,
You're hitting "printXMLRPCerror(6);" in utils.php, function checkAccess.
That makes me think one of 2 things:
(1) in conf.php, for your "Local Account" entry in $authMechs, "type" is not
set to "local" (case important)
or
(2) the foreach loop a little higher in the function, right
after "elseif($apiver == 2)" is completing without setting $authtype. For
some reason, I have a commented out check to see if it isn't set. I'll
create a JIRA issue to correct that. To debug this case, you can add an
entry to $XMLRPCERRORS in errors.php, then uncomment those few lines and
change the print statement to printXMLRPCerror passing it the id of the new
line you added in errors.php.
