<p><code>dbmmanage</code> is used to create and update the DBM format files
|
|
used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users.
|
|
Resources available from the Apache HTTP server can be restricted to just
|
|
the users listed in the files created by <code>dbmmanage</code>. This
|
|
program can only be used when the usernames are stored in a DBM file. To
|
|
use a flat-file database see <a href="htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For details of
|
|
the directives necessary to configure user authentication in
|
|
<a href="httpd.html">httpd</a> see the httpd manual, which is part of
|
|
the Apache distribution or can be found at <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">http://httpd.apache.org/</a>.</p>

|
|
<p>One should be aware that there are a number of different DBM file formats
|
|
in existence, and with all likelihood, libraries for more than one format
|
|
may exist on your system. The three primary examples are SDBM, NDBM, the GNU
|
|
project's GDBM, and Berkeley DB 2. Unfortunately, all these libraries use
|
|
different file formats, and you must make sure that the file format used
|
|
by <var>filename</var> is the same format that <code>dbmmanage</code>
|
|
expects to see. <code>dbmmanage</code> currently has no way of determining
|
|
what type of DBM file it is looking at. If used against the wrong format,
|
|
will simply return nothing, or may create a different DBM file with a
|
|
different name, or at worst, it may corrupt the DBM file if you were
|
|
attempting to write to it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><code>dbmmanage</code> has a list of DBM format preferences, defined by
|
|
the <code>@AnyDBM::ISA</code> array near the beginning of the program. Since
|
|
we prefer the Berkeley DB 2 file format, the order in which
|
|
<code>dbmmanage</code> will look for system libraries is Berkeley DB 2,
|
|
then NDBM, then GDBM and then SDBM. The first library found will be the
|
|
library <code>dbmmanage</code> will attempt to use for all DBM file
|
|
transactions. This ordering is slightly different than the standard
|
|
<code>@AnyDBM::ISA</code> ordering in perl, as well as the ordering used by
|
|
the simple <code>dbmopen()</code> call in Perl, so if you use any other
|
|
utilities to manage your DBM files, they must also follow this preference
|
|
ordering. Similar care must be taken if using programs in other languages,
|
|
like C, to access these files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One can usually use the <code>file</code> program supplied with most
|
|
Unix systems to see what format a DBM file is in.</p>
