  37.     to authenticate users by looking up users in plain text password files.

  73.     <p>The <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> directive sets the name
  74.     of a textual file containing the list of users and passwords for
  75.     user authentication. <var>File-path</var> is the path to the user
  76.     file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the
  77.     <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>
  78.  
  79.     <p>Each line of the user file contains a username followed by
  80.     a colon, followed by the encrypted password. If the same user
  81.     ID is defined multiple times, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> will
  82.     use the first occurrence to verify the password.</p>
  83.  
  84.     <p>The utility <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a></code>
  85.     which is installed as part of the binary distribution, or which
  86.     can be found in <code>src/support</code>, is used to maintain
  87.     the password file for <em>HTTP Basic Authentication</em>. See the
  88.     <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">man page</a> for more details.
  89.     In short:</p>
  90.  
  91.     <p>Create a password file <code>Filename</code> with
  92.     <code>username</code> as the initial ID. It will prompt for
  93.     the password:</p>
  94.  
  95.     <div class="example"><p><code>
  96.       htpasswd -c Filename username
  97.     </code></p></div>
  98.  
  99.     <p>Add or modify <code>username2</code> in the password file
  100.     <code>Filename</code>:</p>
  101.  
  102.     <div class="example"><p><code>
  103.       htpasswd Filename username2
  104.     </code></p></div>
  105.  
  106.     <p>Note that searching large text files is <em>very</em>
  107.     inefficient; <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html#authdbmuserfile">AuthDBMUserFile</a></code> should be used
  108.     instead.</p>
  109.  
  110.     <p>If you are using <em>HTTP Digest Authentication</em>, the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a></code> tool is not sufficient.
  111.     You have to use <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htdigest.html">htdigest</a></code>
  112.     instead. Note that you cannot mix user data for Digest Authentication
  113.     and Basic Authentication within the same file.</p>
