[one-users] x509 Auth Failing after 24 hours

ok, I am getting somewhere I think...  (version  OpenNebula 3.1.0 -
taken from the oned.log)

So the first problem was that AUTH_DRIVERwas set to core.  Once I
manually updated it to x509, I started seeing actual error messages in
the oned.log.

Fri Dec 16 15:26:40 2011 [ReM][D]: HostPoolInfo method invoked

Fri Dec 16 15:26:40 2011 [ReM][E]: [HostPoolInfo] User couldn't be
authenticated, aborting call.

So from what I can tell, the dn is encrypted then base64 encoded prior
to insertion into the database.  The problem is that there does not seem
to be a corresponding decode/decrypt operation prior to passing the
password to the authenticate script.

The docs suggest that there should be a --plain option for the password
that can be used with the DNs however that seems to have been removed
from the oneuser utility.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,
