Issue with authenticate() method

[ksshetty]

Following is my code snippet:

def authenticate(self, username, password):
        self.logger.debug("Attempting to authenticate user: %s" % username)
        auth_client = AuthClient(base_url=self.base_url, api_token=self.api_key)
        auth_result = auth_client.authenticate(username=username, password=password)
        self.logger.debug("Authentication result: username: %s status: %s" % (username, auth_result.status))
        return auth_result.status

I get the following error while attempting to authenticate a user that has been successfully created on the Okta server.

>>> okta_backend.authenticate(username, password)
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/shetty/work/authentication/models.py", line 136, in authenticate

    auth_result = auth_client.authenticate(username=username, password=password)

    response = ApiClient.post_path(self, '/', request, params=params)

    return self.post(self.base_url + url_path, data, params)
  File "/Users/shetty/pyenv/src/okta/okta/framework/ApiClient.py", line 67, in post
    if self.__check_response(resp, attempts):
  File "/Users/shetty/pyenv/src/okta/okta/framework/ApiClient.py", line 102, in __check_response
    raise OktaError(json.loads(resp.text))
OktaError: Authentication failed

I have verified that the credentials being passed in are correct.

Sorry for jumping the gun. The user on the Okta server was in 'Reset Password' and hence the error. This method works when the user is in the 'active' state.
