	Re: des algorithm for htpasswd file generation for iWS4.0 Posted by marcus on 09/19/2000 @ 13:08:51 PST In Reply to: des algorithm for htpasswd file generation for iWS4.0 posted by pratik on 09/13/2000 @ 02:13:23 PST [Follow Ups] [Post Followup] [Message Index] I believe that htpasswd generally uses the Unix crypt(3) function. You will want to port the function from another program or write your own. You can take a look at the OpenSSL crypto library, especially the des_fcrypt and des_crypt functions. Also, you may wish to do a search on the internet for crypt(3). The crypt(3) function is a derivative of DES. If your web server is Unix based, you will likely already have the crypt library available. : I am trying to implement the .htpasswd based user : authentication in iPlanet Web server 4.0 SP2. : As the htpasswd utility of apache (which uses MD5 & crypt) : cannot be used for iWS (which uses DES) can anyone suggest : an alternative utility for this purpose?
