When these two fields exist in the db, the only way to change or remove a record via webcat is to pass the username and password values (the ones stored in the db record) to the replace or delete context. It's an old and probably undocumented security feature from a very early version of webcat that I thought had been removed in the upgrade to version 3.x. Which version are you using?Sincerely, Ken Grome
