Re: About Authenticating via StringAuthentication API from Wiki

Are you able to authenticate with the dialog authenticator using the 
same information?

Since the dialog authenticator uses the StringAuthenticator as a base 
class you might want to test authenticating with the DialogAuthenticator 
and if that works then compare the values that your code is setting with 
StringAuthenticator against the values that DialogAuthenticator uses.

Otherwise your code does look correct.
