Synopsis: Cannot stop MD5 formatting of htpasswd

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: coar
State-Changed-When: Wed May  3 13:04:26 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why:
That is designed and expected behaviour.  Apache does not
include the crypt() routine on Windows due to export
control issues, so it cannot interpret passwords that
have been encrypted by another tool using that algorithm.
The MD5 algorithm was chosen as the standard for Apache
because it will work on all platforms on which Apache is
supported.
