htpasswd Program

[jagged30]

I created my password file on my Windows desktop and uploaded to Unix server, since I don't have access to the htpasswd program on my shared server. But I think this may be causing a problem with authentication. I keep getting prompted for credentials when I try to enter the admin area of my site.

Most probably due to you having generated MD5 encrypted passwords and your provider's machine wants DES.

 

And if you used Apache's "htpasswd.exe" to make the password file, I don't now of a way making it generate DES hashes.

 

using

 

htpasswd -bc file user password

 

still generates MD5's.

 

If anybody knows???
