One of my nodes won't authenticate anymore. Where is auth data located so I can delete it ?

The authentication data is not stored by the plugin in any file currently. Have you tried to reset your node?

I had to start the standalone on that node and input credentials there. After this the node started working again.

Thanks for the displacement fix.

Hi,

I suppose that the next step will be the final build of Octane 3.06 to later start with the 3.1 builds. And meanwhile I'll try to update the documentation with all the 3.0 features missing.

Thanks,
-Juanjo
