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 Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/257494-htaccesshtpasswd-password-not-encrypted/ 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?
