Secret Key is "(null)" - cannot authenticate

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've built the most recent revision: r10. However, I cannot seem to get this to 
work, and looking at the error log it says Secret Key is "(null)".  Here is my 
auth file:

NNJITK6UBX4EEKHH
" TOTP_AUTH
50039494
27219159
58297638
85255199
44013977

Here is the output:

I've been trying for the past couple hours now, and try to tweak the underlying 
code (I was able to hardcode the key as char *sharedKey=NNJITK6UBX4EEKHH; 
instead of NULL in ga_check_password), but as I'm not too familiar with C I was 
limited to what I could do.

I made a new auth file and scanned the code with a QR reader, so I know the 
settings on the phone are correct

I meant to format the issue a bit better, but totally forgot and now I can't 
seem to edit it. oh well =/

Please disregard this issue. It would appear that my NTP daemon was not working 
properly, and my system clock was offset +355 seconds. I've corrected this 
issue and now everything works great. However, debug still says Secret Key is 
"(null)" which might be worth fixing ;)

Glad you got it working! :)

I will:

1. Make the "Secret Key (null)" message more descriptive
2. Update the wiki to mention checking NTP/time sync in troubleshooting.

• Changed state: Started
• Added labels: Priority-Low
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

I should also make some of the debug output a runtime configuration option.
