Has anyone made this work?

I assume you are using CC Android.
CC automatically asks the user for credentials if the server requires them, otherwise CC connects without authentication. CC also remembers the last credentials used, presents these upon connection, and asks only if these saved credentials don't work. If you want to change credentials then you must "Delete passwords" (CC / Settings / Other)
If you run start the content server from the command line with
Code:
calibre-server --enable-auth
then CC does authenticate. My guess is that CC already has the correct credentials so isn't asking you for them.
