Thanks! That does sound strange.
I Imagine it was just the batch_connect misspelling that was the issue. If you want to move back to | I think that’d be fine, indeed it’s a lot more readable that way. That was just a suggestion to try. The misspelling was for sure the only problem.
To the error described - do you use CAS for authentication by any chance? A google search of that error actually showed this thread that has that exact error in it (in the post above the one linked). Looks like they needed to add CASScope to their apache configs.
