I'm trying to properly respond to authentication challenges by overriding
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge. In the init method of my custom object, I
take the user name and password passed in and create a NSURLCredential:
EWScreds = [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser: inUserName
password: inPassword
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
When I get an authentication challenge, I answer it with the stored credential:
-(void)connection:(MyURLConnection *)connection
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge
*)challenge
{
if ([challenge previousFailureCount] == 0)
{
[[challenge sender] useCredential:EWScreds
forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}
else
NSLog(@"Authentication failed on attempt %d", [challenge
previousFailureCount]);
}
This fails 100% of the time, even though the user name and password are
correct. If I create a new credential using literal strings for the user name
and password, like below, the auth challenge succeeds.
NSURLCredential *newCreds = nil;
newCreds = [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser: @"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
password: @"AGreatPassword"
persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceNone];
[[challenge sender] useCredential:newCreds forAuthenticationChallenge:
challenge];
I’ve verified that the password and user names match in both credentials (by
using the user and password accessors on the credential objects). They appear
to match. I’d appreciate any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong with
this. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
_Paul
