authentication error: the requested credential user is not defined

I am receiving this response only sometimes when i run this not every time. I am using http.php and included sasl.php and all the sasl library files are present. Can anyone see why this code might not be working?

authentication error: the requested credential user is not defined

It seems you are accessing a page that requires authentication but you are not specifying the user and password.

After calling GetRequestArguments() function, you need to set the user and password like this:

$arguments["AuthUser"]="some user";
$arguments["AuthPassword"]="some password";

That did the trick. Thanks so much!

I am now sometimes getting this response from a different file:

That means that the user name or password are wrong.

The lines to set the parameters $arguments["AuthUser"] and $arguments["AuthPassword"] were just an example. You need to change the "UserName" to the real user name and "Password" to the real password of that user.

yes i am using the correct username and password but changed it for posting purposes.

I only get that response sometimes and some other times it works. I am using the correct username and password as was provided to me though, I'll check and make sure.

You need to tell me what are you doing different in the times it does not work.

That's the thing i am doing nothing different. I run the php file with the same arguments a bunch of times and sometimes it works as expected and others it gives me that response.
