[annotator-dev] Using store plugin: Authentication problem

Fri Jul 31 10:23:44 UTC 2015

Dear Benhamin, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I still have not found the problem with authentication.
If I log in  to annotateit and use tokenUrl: '
http://annotateit.org/api/token'
to the Auth plugin, everything works fine. So something is wrong with the
token
I create or annotateit store itself.

When I started writing the code for the token I was getting warning messages
that the token was invalid, probably because I was not providing all needed
information. Now I do not get such messages, so I assume that the token is
valid. Since the key, userId etc are correct, I am not sure what is left to
check. Maybe annotate.it does not work as expected? I am not sure I would
like
at this point deploy my own annotation store...

Additionally, another problem that I think exists is that if you add
autoFetch: true, sometimes there are multiple requests to get a token,
which has already been reported again in the related to my problem thread
https://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/annotator-dev/2014-March/000847.html

Best regards
Panagiotis
