Could you provide a bit more detail about the problem? By 'not working'
do you mean you get an exception, or that you enter your email/password
and it doesn't log you in as expected?
In the latter case, I would suggest a little debugging. First, make sure
your settings are correct and that your code is actually being executed.
For example, you could stick a print statement in your authenticate()
method and watch for it when logging in. If you don't see your statement
in the output, then your settings are likely wrong, if you do see it
then next check to make sure your query is returning a user, etc. until
you've narrowed down the problem.
