sknebel [Jeff_Hawkins] the authorization header is something different. What's failing in your case is finding a rel="authorization_endpoint" link on the page you log in with. I don't know the details, but in a multi-user setup you might need to use your user profile page for that? (just a guess though, not a WP person)

[Jeff_Hawkins] Got it... I think. I had to network enable the Indie Auth plugin and use the main (network) site instead of the subsite but it works fine so far.

GWG [Jeff_Hawkins]: I should have tested it with a network install.

[Jeff_Hawkins] I finally looked at the profile via the main site and realized the endpoints weren't there but were there on the subsite.
#
GWG [Jeff_Hawkins]: Always happy to look at things
#
GWG How are the plugins working for you overall?
#
[Jeff_Hawkins] So far so good. The auth was the only problem I've seen and I was just waiting for the time available to look into that. I have a pair of sites on another server where one is a Static WP that I'm planning to migrate to this multisite and I thought I'd better figure out this problem before I closed down that server in case I needed it for testing or something.
#
GWG [Jeff_Hawkins]: Always want to make things better

#
andysylvester I am also having an IndieAuth problem with the WP plugin
#
andysylvester Got the following message: The authorization header was not returned on this test, which means that your server may be stripping the Authorization header. This is needed for IndieAuth to work correctly.
#
andysylvester I added the two recommended items to my .htaccess file, but did not see any change.

GWG AndySylvester: Sometimes it is the provider
#
GWG AndySylvester: Also caching can sometimes interfere
#
andysylvester I will contact my hosting provider (Bluehost) first to see if there is something they can do on their end. Is there something I can do about the caching?
#
GWG Tell them what the issue is and see what they say.
#
GWG In one case, someone had a mod_security rule their provider put in
#
GWG I'm also working this on the WordPress Core level.
