Unable to authenticate to RavenDB server on local network

I am attempting to connect to RavenDB on Server2 from Server1.

On Server2 I have created a new user "RavenDBUser" and granted them read/write access to the Database directory within the RavenDB installation.

I am running RavenDB as the windows service on port 8080.

On Server1 I have set the connection string for my application to:

Url=http://server2:8080;Database=MyDatabase;Domain=server2;user=RavenDBUser;password=mypassword;

When I run my application, I get a 403, forbidden error.

However, I am able to connect to the RavenDB Studio from Server1 and view "MyDatabase" after authenticating as "RavenDBUser".

The error details can be seen below:

[WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.] System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() +8522396

It seems the missing piece was that you have to explicitly enable the windows user/group in the RavenDB system database configuration.

The not so easy to find docs for doing this can be found at http://ravendb.net/docs/studio/multi-database about 3/4 down the page.
