Summary:                    Unable to Authenticate() against AstDB
Description: 
The Authenticate() application has a flag (d) that lets you state that the
path provided by the first argument is the path to the AstDB key.
Unfortunately I can't seem to make this work.

When specifying the 'd' flag and providing the path to the AstDB,
authentication never happens

Actually it appears as if I'm using it wrong. The way I was using it is how
I would have expected it to work, but c'est la vie.

The database key provided should be something like:

/authentication/temp_password/1234

And the value of that family/key value doesn't matter, as the last key
name is what gets used for the password, not the value.

I'm leaving this open as a documentation task.
