The infamous AuthenticationFailure

By lucadanielcostin on Wed, 12/04/2013 - 21:14

Hello, I am creating a server written in CoffeeScript for NodeJS and I can't get anything but AuthenticationFailure

I've pasted the code here http://pastebin.com/f7JDmPNW

My keys are located in ./config.js file

I only use server_access_key and server_secret_key

 

The big problem is that you don't know if you're doing something right, or something wrong or everything wrong because there are so many hashes you need to compute and unless the planets align you're pretty much screwed, no way to debug, no way to find out.

I wish you good luck in finding out my bug (or most likely my bugs). And by "you" I mean the developers at vuforia who thought having lots of security will help and that one hash key was not enough.

Hi, thanks for sharing your code, but as you recognize, these are "your bugs", we cannot debug your own code for you;

we do have working sample implementations in Java and PHP, which you can find here, if you want to have a look at the code, this could help:

Thanks for the links. 

I must say yesterday the link to the PHP sample did not work. The EULA did not load so maybe the accept button was blocked.

Now I see that you consider the HMAC hash not as a hex string but as a binary. I'll start working from there.
