Hi there,

All of a sudden, our deploys (via our CI) print out “ERROR: invalid user” and die.  
This is an example of the output:

```
Packaging source... OK
ERROR: invalid user

```

This is run using a [Deploy Key](https://docs.convox.com/console/deploy-keys), and has been working for more than a year and a half. It also fails when I run it locally (not in CI):

```
$ env CONVOX_HOST=console.convox.com CONVOX_PASSWORD=abcd-effg-1234-1234-1234123124 convox deploy --app appName --rack accountName/rackName --manifest ./convox.appName.yml --id 
Packaging source... OK
ERROR: invalid user

```

Using a newly created Deploy Key has the same behavior. Deploying using a standard logged-in user works as expected:

```
$ convox deploy --app appName --rack accountName/rackName --manifest ./convox.appName.yml --id
Packaging source... OK
Uploading source... OK
Starting build... OK
Authenticating 123456.asd.qwe.env-1.amazonaws.com: Login Succeeded

```

We’re using the latest version of both Rack and CLI:

```
$ convox version
client: 20190822194002
server: 20190822194002 (console.convox.com)

```

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

This appears to have been a bug in the latest release of Console. A fix has just rolled out. Please let me know if you’re still experiencing this issue.
