Authenticated access (login) fails on review.typo3.org #55

Rview reports the username is not valid. Did they implement something special for review.typo3.org, besides the login-method gerrit uses by default?

@neufeind For authentication the Gerrit REST api doesn't use the same user and login than Gerrit web, but a generated http password. To obtain it, you must login in the typo3 gerrit instance and go to your profile settings. In tha page, there is a "http password" option in the left menu. Just click on genererate to obtain a password. To login with Rview just use the username and the generated password. To simplify things, in the account wizard page of Rview there is a link that redirects to the http password page. You can generate the password and click y copy, so you can paste easy into the paasword field.

Let me know if that helps with your authentication problem.

I didn't know there was a separate password, my bad. Thank you very much for the prompt response and helping hand!
