Introduction to htpasswd

Htpasswd is a command tool for the open-source HTTP server Apache HTTP, used to generate password files for basic HTTP authentication



Htpasswd encryption method

MD5: Use MD5 encryption password, which is the default encryption method on Windows, Netware, and TPF
CRYPT: Use crypt() to encrypt passwords. On platforms other than Windows, Netware, and TPF, this is the default. Although it can be supported by htpasswd on all platforms, it cannot be supported by HTTP servers on Windows, Netware, and TPF
SHA: Using SHA encryption password, it is designed for easy transfer or porting to Netscape using LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif)
PLAIN: No encryption, use plain text passwords. Although htpasswd can establish such passwords on all platforms, the HTpasswd backend only supports plain text passwords on Windows, Netware, and TPF.
