    From Alan Beck@1:229/426.36 to all on Wed Apr 22 09:08:13 2020
    My request to send seems to be not authenticated.

    I noticed in a packet that he is using bzip2.

    The zip section of the setup took that.

    Now I just have to set up my authentication.

    I don't want to fill his log file with barf.

    Make sure you have your session password correctly configured. The
    password may be case-sensitive. OpenXp can manage a case. Maybe your
    Boss requires/assumes all uppercase?

    What do you mean "took that"?

    Edit/Servers/Edit/Point is the key location for the session password for
    your Boss. You shouldn't need to change anything else in there that the Quick-Guide didn't mention.

    You should also look inside OXP's logs on your side for clues.

    I noticed that once I typed in bzip2 which is in the OpenXP directory it allowed me to proceed.

    Also I noticed in my log from WinPoint I saw a reference to bz in the log I figured that it could be bzip2.

    The fact I could move past that point is what I am refering to.
