[chef] Problem authenticating from console

[Albert Llop < >]

Hi there,
been trying to play a bit with the REST api for a couple of things we have in mind, and found myself quite unable to do so. Checking the source code (since I found nothing in the documentation) I saw the methods register and authenticate. Doing this:


require 'chef'
require 'chef/rest'

Chef::Config[:log_level] = :debug

r = Chef::REST.new("https://vmchef.imim.es")

r.register("rest_user","******")

I see positive feedback from the log and when I go to the chef web ui I can see a new registration. I validate it and even give it admin rights (although I'm not sure what is it for), and them I try to authenticate:

r.authenticate("rest_user","******")

And the log spits all of this:

I'll keep digging into this, but if someone has any idea it would be most welcome :D
