Peoplevox pre & post authentication scripts
Introduction
When you install the Peoplevox connector from the Patchworks marketplace, pre and post authentication scripts are included.
Typically, you don't need to do anything with these scripts - they do what they need to do 'out of the box'. However, if you are connecting to a US region, you might need to update the pre-auth script.
What needs to be changed?
The pre-authentication script encodes passwords as Base64, which is required by most PVX regions. However, the US region requires this in plain text.
If you experience issues with authentication - usually a message like 'System : Security - Invalid Session', then you should update the pre-authentication script to remove Base64 encoding. This is a simple change, summarised below.
