Chanpa Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, I am running an Apache webserver with MoWeS and I'm protecting my admin section of the site with this .htaccess file: AuthName "Admin Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile ../.htpasswd Require valid-user On the tutorials I read it said that the password in my .htpasswd file had to be encrypted for it to work so I did that(I used a script on the site I was learning from) and had something like: Admin:dhAJHD82zxyA in my .htpasswd file and it didn't work, the error.log said there was a user/pass mismatch. So I changed it to Admin:plaintextpass and it worked! However this is obviously less secure (although I don't have the .htpasswd -file on the webserver) so I was wondering how I can make it "accept" or work with the encrypted versions of a password. Thanks, Chanpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chanpa Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Where I read about it it didn't say anything about that. Care to explain what you mean or link to what you're talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
