NAME
httpd.passwd - file of passwords required for HTTP access
SYNOPSIS
/etc/httpd.passwd
DESCRIPTION
The password file containing the encrypted form of the password that an HTTP
client must supply to have access to a file in a controlled-access directory tree, as
declared in /etc/httpd.access.
The password is encrypted in the regular UNIX style. User of NCSA or Apache
can use their htpasswd program to generate the user_id:passwd pair.
The HTTP access control does not use the existing CIFS password database on
the filer because in http basic authentication, in each request for protected pages,
the value of passwd is sent over the network in clear text, and without encryption
would compromise the users password.
NOTE:
Encrypted password file can only be generated and imported from a UNIX client.
