Q: authentication.conf not using 'user' attribute?

[Maritza Mendez]

Hi again.

I tried and failed to set up authentication.conf a long time ago.  So I've
been saying things like

bzr branch bzr+ssh://bzruser@server.org/path/to/trunk

where of course 'bzruser' is a user at server.org and is different from my
username (martitza) on the local system.

Now I'd like a few people to share a common login.  So rather than make
everyone do extra typing, I decided to try authentication.conf again.

I have it set up on the local machine with authentication.conf like this:

[server.org]
scheme=bzr+ssh
host=server.org
user=bzruser
password=password_for_user=bzrusr_on_server.org

But when I say

bzr branch bzr+ssh://server.org/path/to/trunk

I am *always* prompted for the password of == the user running the command
on the local machine == which of course is not bzruser (and actually does
not match any username on server.org)

It's as if bzr is not using (or not finding a match to server.org) in
authentication.conf.
So I tried changing scheme=bzr to 'bzr+ssh' or just 'ssh' but none of those
works either.

As a sanity check, I verfied that

bzr branch bzr+ssh://bzruser@server.org/path/to/trunk

still works (provided I provide the password when prompted).

What am I doing wrong?  I'm still using bzr 2.1 if that matters.

Thanks,
~M
