Hi,

First of all, huge fan of CiviCRM, this system is amazing!

I have been trying to get the REST API interface working, but have run into a few issues.  I have been using the documentation from:-
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/REST+interface

I have now reset the following lines of code:-
        CRM_Core_DAO::setFieldValue('CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact', $result[CRM:0], 'api_key', sha1($result[CRM:2]) );
        $api_key = CRM_Core_DAO::getFieldValue('CRM_Contact_DAO_Contact', $result[CRM:0], 'api_key');
        // return self::error("This user does not have a valid API key in the database, and therefore cannot authenticate through this interface");

However the next step is and then login each API user account once before restoring the commenting of these lines to their original state.

I am missing something because I don't actually know what the API users are.  I have always used my myopenid (from myopenid.com) to login to the system.

I know that the site key is working as expected.  If anyone could give me some guidance I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much
