[BUG] Deluge Ignores auth changes

[Dracrius]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I've tried basically everything I can think of even starting from scratch but nothing I seem to do will get the Linuxserver deluge docker image to see changes made to the auth file.

Expected Behavior

Add a user to auth file maybe need a restart. Then I should be able to connect a thin client to the docker container.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Setup new linuxserver docker container using docker compose.
2. Start docker container to let it populate the config folder.
3. Edited the auth file in /config to contain a second user with dracrius:passw0rd:10 (diffrent password but only alphanumeric).
4. Attempt restarting the docker container.
5. Attempt to connect from thin client from another machine.
6. See the deamon active with version number in connection manager.
7. Attempt to connect with new user and get user doesn't exist message.
8. Attempt to connect with localclient with new password but get password doesnt match message.
9. Even destroying the container and rebuilding it but the user doesn't work when accessing the deamon.

I've verified remote connection is on in the core.config but any attempt to connect shows User does not exist message when trying to connect as dracrius or Password doesn't match if attempting to use localclient. Between the thin client UI showing the deluge version, that its active and the login prompts show that the port settings are working and deamon mode is enabled just not the users set in auth.

Of note the web ui works fine. Entered the default password deluge got the prompt to update it. Did so and that all works as intended. But I had edited the core.config to change the download folders and enable move to on complete but neither showed on first login. Setting things in the WebUI and saving including setting the incoming port as suggested in the setup guide updated the core.config file though to include the incoming port setting.
