Is there any plans to add a flag to have BAM tell computers to join projects with the weak authenticators? I've been using a Jarifa account manager because it has this feature but it really doesn't have any other useful features. I'd like to switch back to BoincStats BAM for my account management.

I know that not every project supports the weak authentication keys but most do and all new projects will.

This is already supported (but badly documented, I'll fix that).

On your Main account page you'll find your BAM! Weak Authenticator. When you attach a host to BAM! use it for both the username and password. The projects will then be attached with the Weak Authenticator.

Awesome!

I saw that weak authenticator thing but wasn't sure what it was for.

I'll test it out.

Thanks.

So far this isn't working with WCG. I'm testing with BAM host id 223520 (type shows as "guest" instead of "standard&quot. I attached to WCG, sync'd the workstation with BAM and am looking at the local account_www.worldcom..... file. The authenticator used is the standard, not the weak authenticator key.

Tested with LHC as well just incase it's a WCG thing but LHC also joined with the normal key and not the weak key.

I thought I'd point out as well, the "no new work" option for this host doesn't get set on the host when set through bam after a sync. Not sure if it's related to being a guest host or something else.

It will now use the weak authenticator.
