Magmi keeps asking for login (M 1.9.4.4)

[victorth]

Initial login with Magmi worked, to the point that it requested me to create the magmi.ini configuration file.

After entering all credentials I can't login with my Magento credentials. The credentials appear to work as when I change them Magmi gives a database error.

I've added the .htaccess as recommended. Running on a DigitalOcean box.

Magmi is located in the root folder of our Magento installation.

htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

Configuration File

[DATABASE]
;magento database name
dbname=XXXXX
;magento database host
host=localhost
;database user
user=XXXXX
;database password
password=XXXXX
;---- Uncomment following line if you have a table prefix
;table_prefix=<>

[MAGENTO]
;magento base directory on host : ie :
basedir="/srv/users/XXXXX/apps/production/current/htdocs" (Pulled from a 'pwd' while in Magento root)
;change this if you are using localized "Enabled" status in non english languages
;enabled_status_label="Enabled"
[GLOBAL]
;---- Uncomment the following line to have a custom import report step, defaults to 100
step=0.5
