I've been spending some time trying to figure out why my ownCloud(Ampache) server will not authenticate. The resolver kept saying "Username or password incorrect." This led me to believe that I was just doing something wrong with ownCloud. But after several attempts I decided to dive into the code.
The code only checked for a 403 and that's it... what I was getting instead was a 401
<error code="401">Invalid Login - timestamp is in future</error>
I've just started reading through the code and I'm not sure what would be a good return value since the documentation suggests avoiding custom messages. I think resolvers should go through expected errors and then output the error itself to the user as a final resort. Much better than misleading errors.
EDIT:
Also ownCloud seems to be aware of this timestamp problem
// TODO - while testing with tomahawk it sometimes is $currenttime+1 ... needs further investigation
if($providedTime > $currentTime + 100) {
throw new AmpacheException('Invalid Login - timestamp is in future', 401);
}

EDIT 2: I got my ampache to work... my Linux system clock was somehow wrong.
