my htaccess:
# .htaccess
AuthUserFile /home/etc/.pass
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Acces restreint"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

my htpassword:
user1:recksHX1tUaHA

what is the crypting algorithme here? and where is this algorithme defined
in apache????

I found some page to cript password but they return hexa cripted password
(md5 or crypt php functions).
Here my password is obviuosly not and hexa value.

crypt probably.

In mod_auth I suppose.
What's the problem? As long as your username and password matches.

thanks Davide for your answer.

In fact, I just take a job and i have to maintain an apache server.
The .htaccess/.htpassword works fine,
But i have to do a new one, with another user/pass, and i can't change the
password!!

the php script: <? echo  crypt( $mypass ) ?> returns

$1$Fp/.qa3.$LhyJujc2pbUwa/U.XQDVc.
instead of:
recksHX1tUaHA

There is effectivly a "AddModule mod_auth.c" line in httpd.conf.

and i can access the command line. i try
man crypt
man passwd
man encrypt...

nothing seems to tell me how to create an encrypted password...
