<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This module provides authentication front-ends such as
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code>
|
||
to authenticate users by looking up users in plain text password files.
|
||
Similar functionality is provided by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html">mod_authn_dbm</a></code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When using <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> or
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>, this module is invoked via the
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider">AuthBasicProvider</a></code> or
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html#authdigestprovider">AuthDigestProvider</a></code>
|
||
with the <code>file</code> value.</p>

|
||
<p>The <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> directive sets the name
|
||
of a textual file containing the list of users and passwords for
|
||
user authentication. <var>File-path</var> is the path to the user
|
||
file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the
|
||
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Each line of the user file contains a username followed by
|
||
a colon, followed by the encrypted password. If the same user
|
||
ID is defined multiple times, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> will
|
||
use the first occurrence to verify the password.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The utility <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a>
|
||
which is installed as part of the binary distribution, or which
|
||
can be found in <code>src/support</code>, is used to maintain
|
||
the password file for <em>HTTP Basic Authentication</em>. See the
|
||
<a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">man page</a> for more details.
|
||
In short:</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Create a password file <code>Filename</code> with
|
||
<code>username</code> as the initial ID. It will prompt for
|
||
the password:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
htpasswd -c Filename username
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Add or modify <code>username2</code> in the password file
|
||
<code>Filename</code>:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
htpasswd Filename username2
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that searching large text files is <em>very</em>
|
||
inefficient; <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html#authdbmuserfile">AuthDBMUserFile</a></code> should be used
|
||
instead.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If you are using <em>HTTP Digest Authentication</em>, the <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a> tool is not sufficient.
|
||
You have to use <a href="../programs/htdigest.html">htdigest</a>
|
||
instead. Note that you cannot mix user data for Digest Authentication
|
||
and Basic Authentication within the same file.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3>
|
||
<p>Make sure that the <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> is
|
||
stored outside the document tree of the web-server. Do
|
||
<strong>not</strong> put it in the directory that it protects.
|
||
Otherwise, clients may be able to download the
|
||
<code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code>.</p>
