Make sure you are working in "interactive" mode and you have
the appropriate callbacks set.
If you create a standard HTML client (with HTProfile_newHTMLClient or one
of those)
it should be correctly set.
Put a breakpoint in HTAlert_setInteractive() and make sure it's called
somewhere with YES/TRUE.
Also put a breakpoint in HTAlert_add() to see which callbacks are
installed (look for the
opcode = HT_A_USER_PW).
If you are writing a graphical application, you will need to install your
own callbacks
to display the authentication request and returning the appropriate
values.
hope this help,
Raffaele
