Play 2.4 and play-authenticate 0.7.x password auth error in production

[achaiah]

There seems to be an issue with play-authenticate not being able to locate its settings when a play framework 2.4 production release is created.

In dev mode the plugin works fine, however after creating a distribution following the Play 2.4 Production guide I cannot start the play framework. It crashes with:

This happens even though the dev environment runs fine and the config file is in its proper place -> conf/play-authenticate/mine.conf

What are the differences between your mine.conf files? In your mine.conf files, what do you have for password.mail.verificationLink.secure? Whatever they are, do you have the MyPasswordAuthProvider (or whatever yours is) enabled for both dev and prod environments?
