This script generates an encrypted password for use in a .htpasswd file to password protect webserver resources.
Often used in combination with the Apache webserver to protect a directory or file from unauthorized access.
The .htaccess file should contain a valid, full path to the location of the .htpasswd file.
Example : AuthUserFile /var/www/domains/alterlinks.fr/toto/.htpasswdAuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthType Basic <limit GET> require valid-user </Limit> |
Cut & paste the line below into your .htpasswd file : |
If you do not know the full path to your website on a remote server, which is needed to specify the location of your .htpasswd file, there are two easy ways to find out :
• Ask your hosting provider for the full path to your website
• If your website supports PHP, create a new page, for instance test.php and add the following text to it :
<?
phpinfo();
?>
Save the page and upload it to your website. Then open the page by pointing your webbrowser to it, for instance :
http://mysite.myprovider.com/test.php
In the result, look for the line DOCUMENT_ROOT or SCRIPT_FILENAME which will show you the full path to your website on the server.
MD5 | "$apr1$" + the result of an Apache-specific algorithm using an iterated (1,000 times) MD5 digest of various combinations of a random 32-bit salt and the password. |
SHA1 | "{SHA}" + Base64-encoded SHA-1 digest of the password. |
CRYPT | Unix only. Uses the traditional Unix crypt(3) function with a randomly-generated 32-bit salt (only 12 bits used) and the first 8 characters of the password. |
