Authentication error with Status.Net clients

schiesbn

Hello,
I run my own status.net 1.0.1 installation at status.schiessle.org. The web interface works fine but I can't connect to my status.net with any client software (e.g. choqok, mustard, etc.). The client just says "wrong user name or password" but the same user name and password works on the web page. The debug log on my web server says:

2012-03-03 18:05:55 LOG_DEBUG: [status.schiessle.org:24102.0c19a003 GET /api/account/verify_credentials.json] apiaction.php - User error '401' on 'ApiAccountVerifyCredentials': Could not authenticate you.

I tried both OAuth and username/password authentication with the same result.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks!

Same around here...

Did you get it fixed already?

Found a fix by @jordanc which works for me:
1. open .htaccess
2. uncomment these two lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

Maybe works for you too?

Thanks Vinz! This fix also works for me!
