I can not figure out how can i pass session credentials to and etherpad pad. I always get a message from the etherpad pad like "You do not have permission to access this pad" Everything i do is according to http://etherpad.org/doc/v1.5.1/#index_example_1 and i can not figure out how can i start a session for a user, having done all the previous steps successfully of the example 1 in the link above.
You need a set a cookie with the key sessionID and the value containing the sessionID received by the createSession api.
To test this, I created the cookie using chrome developer tools by running the following in the console:
document.cookie="sessionID=s.XXXX"
After this I was able to access the pad located at /p/g.fcXsYTpiNlJMwX35$samplePad. Your padID will be different.
