Authentication failure with JabRef

[Former user]

Reported by chabaena: Hello

hen I run the application JabRef version 2.5, I get an authentication error with the plugin Bibsonomy.

I put in my user credentials in the plugin bibsonomy (Username: chabaena) and the API key indicating the page setting.

i have the same trouble with JabRef 2.5 and with 2.6 too. The first data entry in the first attempt was successful. But there after all attempts fails in a error.

My account was only registered by an open id - nothing others. Is this a problem? The plugin is unuseable with this error because it could not reconfigured at now.

Commented by funthomas424242: Yeepi, there is a workaround! You must rename the file BibsonomyProperties.txt to BibsonomyProperties.txt-old at the jabref install folder. Now you can edit the settings after restart jabref.

In my case there was blanks at the end of the api key. Caused by copy paste from browser.

Now it works fine.
