Yep. Experiencing the same thing. Can’t upgrade to 2.5 unless I can get this working, because I have dozens of WP accounts that rely on this plugin.

Is this working for anyone in WP 2.5? I’m having trouble, and trying to isolate the issue.

It seems like HTTP Auth is happening but then I’m being dumped on the wp-login.php instead of wp_authenticate doing its thing. Anyone else?

Ben,

I’ve had one other report of this problem. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with XML-RPC, so you could really help out by patching WordPress and the http-authentication plugin.

I installed the HTTP Authentication plugin, and now posting from a desktop client is giving me trouble. In short, xmlrpc.php doesn’t go through the same code path as the rest of WP for verifying usernames and passwords, so my blog client has to first perform HTTP auth (in order to access xmlrpc.php in the first place) and then post my *WP* username and a password to xmlrpc.php. This is inconvenient, because I now have to store two passwords to access my blog in my desktop client; also, it’s hard to reset my WP password once HTTP Auth is installed.

My guess is that user_pass_ok in user.php needs to be patched to talk to WP plugins.

Any Ideas? I have the same problem with the imap authentication module.

It work in 2.0?

Mike,

I’ve tested the plugin with 2.2 and 2.3. Are you running into problems?
