[users@httpd] shared .htpasswd access across multiple servers?

We have some robotics hardware that each has a built in webserver that uses
standard .htaccess and .htpasswd files to control access.  We'd like to
have a single .htpasswd file shared across multiple machines/servers...is
there a way to configure the htaccess file to a shared remote .htpasswd
file?

-thanks
J

You can get htaccess to query a SQL, LDAP backend.

Else you will need to look at some type of deployment tool like puppet, 
ansible.

Apache doesn't install these files - it only reads them.

How about rsync?
