Hi Chris,

OK, removing the actAs stuff in my client fixed the problem.

I had just copied the code from the samples cargo-cult-style, which
worked for 1.3.0. Making a user "actAs" the same user is obviously a bit
pointless, so maybe the error message in this case could just point out
that "actAs" is not required.  

I am little unclear as to how I should specify the user for my web
client. Currently the client just imports users and groups from my
sources of records, and I have just configured

        ws.testing.user
        ws.testing.pass

in
        grouper-ws.properties

to user GrouperSystem.

What would be the preferred method for specifying the credentials for a
functional administrative user?

Cheers

Loris
