ServiceStack Basic Authentication Failure

[yashary]

I'm trying to utilize the basic authentication of ServiceStack but even after passing the correct credentials, I'm getting the error: [Authenticate: 6/16/2014 4:00:22 AM]: [REQUEST: {UserName:john,Password:test}] ServiceStack.HttpError: Invalid BasicAuth credentials at ServiceStack.Auth.BasicAuthProvider.Authenticate(IServiceBase authService, IAuthSession session, Authenticate request) at ServiceStack.Auth.AuthenticateService.Authenticate(Authenticate request, String provider, IAuthSession session, IAuthProvider oAuthConfig) at ServiceStack.Auth.AuthenticateService.Post(Authenticate request) at ServiceStack.Auth.AuthenticateService.Get(Authenticate request) at lambda_method(Closure , Object , Object ) at ServiceStack.Host.ServiceRunner`1.Execute(IRequest request, Object instance, TRequest requestDto)

The lines of code in my AppHost.cs class Configure function is as follows: // Register AuthFeature with custom user session and Basic auth provider Plugins.Add(new AuthFeature( () => new AuthUserSession(), new AuthProvider[] { new BasicAuthProvider() } ));

Plugins.Add(new RegistrationFeature());

// register storage for user sessions container.Register(new MemoryCacheClient()); container.Register(c => new SessionFactory(c.Resolve()));

var userRep = new InMemoryAuthRepository(); container.Register(userRep);

//Add a user for testing purposes string hash; string salt; new SaltedHash().GetHashAndSaltString("test", out hash, out salt); userRep.CreateUserAuth(new UserAuth { Id = 1, DisplayName = "DisplayName", Email = "as@if.com", UserName = "john", FirstName = "FirstName", LastName = "LastName", PasswordHash = hash, Salt = salt, }, "test");

And the URL that I'm utilizing for authentication is: http://localhost:63743/auth?Username=john&Password=test

Please let me know what can be the root cause of this behavior?
