Issues with boinctui (unauthorized!), a boinc manager for terminals

I've created the file "remote_hosts.cfg" in the boinc directory and added the localhost address 127.0.0.1 and for testing an other device with its internal ip.

But after starting boinctui in terminal, I only can see the message "unauthorized!".

I can't find any man or wiki page for boinctui or anything else which could help me configuring boinctui. I have installed boinctui-2.3.6-1 with yaourt.

There are no problems with an other boinc manager (GUI).

How can I authorize boinctui?

Same issue ~3 months later. The BOINC client is running, doing its thing, and boinctui can't seem to connect.

Re: Issues with boinctui (unauthorized!), a boinc manager for terminals

Had the same problem as you guys. See if you don't have a file in your BOINC folder, or somewhere else, called  "gui_rpc_auth.cfg". Copy the content of that file (a single line) and set boinctui to use that as password. Solved the problem for me. See below for my .boinctui.cfg file

<boinctui_cfg>
    <column_view_mask>-1
    </column_view_mask>
    <tasks_list_mode>0
    </tasks_list_mode>
    <tasks_sort_mode>1
    </tasks_sort_mode>
    <server>
        <host>127.0.0.1
        </host>
        <port>31416
        </port>
        <pwd>Content-of-gui_rpc_auth.cfg
        </pwd>
    </server>
</boinctui_cfg>
