(RADIATOR) "User" file for authentication

[Tony Bunce]

Could be a permissions issue on the users file after you overwrite it.

 

Does a trace show any useful information?

Hello everyone,

 

I have a weird issue. Please bare with me, I am in the final stages of
deployment with this program and have this major problem.

 

I am using a text file for authentication called "users"

 

The users files hold a test machine's MAC address and works fine. BUT!
When I overwrite the file with another "users" file with the same exact
info, it doesn't work.

 

So, I reverted back to the old file and began to add new users, and
would select save and save it as a "users" file. No extension.

 

 

 

In short, if I use the original file, it works. But when I update the
data on the file or overwrite the file, it no longer works. 

 

Any suggestions?

 

1.      Should I place a .txt extension and have the config file point
to "users.txt" ?

2.      Should I try another method of authentication? I need a simple
and quick way to get this up and going. 

 

Thank you,
