Apache 2.0 Authentication on Windows 2000
Hello,
I'm attempting to protect a folder with .htaccess files on a Windows
2000 box running Apache 2.0.39,, and have run into a lot of problems:
htpasswd doesn't work at all. If you try to create a new file with -c it
says that -c and -n can't be used together, even when you didn't specify
-n. When you try to update an existing file, it says that the file is in
use by another program (even if there is no way that it is) and refuses to
operate.
When you create a file manually, using either crypt or md5 passwords, it
will not work on the index file of a directory (ie protected/ or
protected/index.html) but the password prompt will come up for other files
(ie protected/test.html) Unfortunately, the password won't work. Below is
a copy of my htaccess file and htpasswd file:
md5:$1$SpzxGCwO$d/5er/V4rcO7iVGuVqQkN/
crypt:kJP/h0ey2MkHc
AuthUserFile C:/Apache2/passwd.txt
AuthName "Private Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit *>
order deny,allow
require valid-user
</Limit>

Posted by Daniel Lopez <da...@rawbyte.com>.
The htpasswd.exe utility on Windows bundled with 2.0.39 has known bugs that
have been fixed for 2.0.40 You can use previous versions, they are ok.
>From the Changelog:
*) Fix a silly htpasswd.c logic error that incorrectly reported that
both -c and -n had been used. PR 9989 [Cliff Woolley]
Cheers
Daniel
