The new server software here supports 'Weak Account Key', but when I use it and try to connect I get "No or invalid account key" (or similar), so have to go back to using the normal account key... and yes, I did make sure I didn't make any typing mistakes (copy'n'pasted) and checked after that ;)

Any way we could get this to work here? It works on SETI@home...

Did you follow this guide?

Also, this change requires a scheduler update which i'm not sure actually happened. So if anyone else wants to give this a try and tell me what happens for them i would be greatly obliged.

I got the same.

I can PM you the xml file if you'd like.

[edit]
Simply replacing the weak auth with the account key and resaving the file works.

So it's not the way I named the file or the structure of the file.

Yeah, followed that guide though I didn't know about it, but I knew where to put the key ;) As Kathryn said, simply replacing back to normal account key makes it work again. As I saw W.A.K. available on my account page, I wanted to use it on a remote pc for security reasons :)
