OAuth; Ruby/Rails; 401 unauthorized; what are correct _path variables?

[John Woodward]

Been bedeviled for a while on 401 Unauthorized.  Where is the documentation and what are the proper _path variables?  (request_token_path, authorize_path, access_token_path)

401 appears to be an extremely frequent problem.  Are there any decent diagnostic tools available?  If not, why not, then?

Also, in the documentation, I only see 'PLAINTEXT' signature_method.  I can use the default 'HMAC-SHA1', right?

    @consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new('cce59e8e-05ed-4e20-914a-0a9781e8f834',  
      '15xxxxc6-7xx5-4xxa-8xxe-85xxxxxxxx35',                  # consumer_secret
      {
      :site               => 'https://external.ningapis.com',
      :scheme             => :header,                          # default - or :body
      :http_method        => :post,                            # default - or :get
      :signature_method   => 'HMAC-SHA1',
      :request_token_path => '/xn/rest/eldorado2/1.0/Token?xn_pretty=true',
      :authorize_path     => '/xn/rest/eldorado2/1.0/authorize',
      :access_token_path  => '/xn/rest/eldorado2/1.0/access_token',
      :timestamp          => Time.now.utc.to_i,
      :nonce              => Time.now.utc.to_i                 # arbitrary - use only once
     })
   
    @request_token = @consumer.get_request_token(:oauth_callback => 'http://ee3.rebates4sure.com/oauth/ning/callback')

401 unauthorized at the @request_token above.  (BTW, :authorize_path and :access_token_path are just my guess).  Can't get past this last statement.  Even though adjusted version (key / secret / ...) works with twitter, linkedin, yahoo, tumblr,

Hey, John. Sorry, but I am confounded by your post. It sounds like you may have a deep technical question that I may not be able to answer. Have you tried reaching out on our Developer's community? 

[John Woodward]

Apologies, Eric.  Having trouble getting an account / email address squared away on the Developer's side of the house.

Can you have someone there setup a dummy account or otherwise email me so I can go to where I'm supposed to be?

[Eric Suesz]

Sorry for any delays. I will check into this.
