The good news is, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

The bad news is: It is not possible for external services to use Hosted
Enterprise Chef Server password authentication.

The endpoint is locked down to only allow the webui user to run
authentication. It *is* possible to get this to work in EC and OSC.

Also, FWIW, the shape of the call being made doesn't look right for HEC
(assuming it were possible in the first place). Here's the right request
to send, but if you try it, you will receive a 403 even if the user and
pass are correct:

    api.post("https://api.opscode.com/authenticate_user";,
             {:username => "fred", :password => "123"})

+ seth
