+<h2><a name="basic" id="basic">Basic Authentication</a></h2>

+ <p>There are five formats that Apache recognizes for basic-authentication

+
+ <dt>MD5</dt>
+ <dd>"$apr1$" + the result of an Apache-specific algorithm using an
+ iterated (1,000 times) MD5 digest of various combinations of a
+ random 32-bit salt and the password. See the APR source file
+ <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/trunk/crypto/apr_md5.c?view=markup">apr_md5.c</a>
+ for the details of the algorithm.</dd>
+
+ <dt>SHA1</dt>
+ <dd>"{SHA}" + Base64-encoded SHA-1 digest of the password. Insecure.</dd>
+
+ <dt>CRYPT</dt>
+ <dd>Unix only. Uses the traditional Unix <code>crypt(3)</code> function
+ with a randomly-generated 32-bit salt (only 12 bits used) and the first 8
+ characters of the password. Insecure.</dd>
+
+ <dt>PLAIN TEXT (i.e. <em>unencrypted</em>)</dt>
+ <dd>Windows &amp; Netware only. Insecure.</dd>
+ </dl>

+ <h3>Generating values with htpasswd</h3>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>bcrypt</h3><p><code>
+ $ htpasswd -nbB myName myPassword<br />
+ myName:$2y$05$c4WoMPo3SXsafkva.HHa6uXQZWr7oboPiC2bT/r7q1BB8I2s0BRqC
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>MD5</h3><p><code>
+ $ htpasswd -nbm myName myPassword<br />
+ myName:$apr1$r31.....$HqJZimcKQFAMYayBlzkrA/
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>SHA1</h3><p><code>
+ $ htpasswd -nbs myName myPassword<br />
+ myName:{SHA}VBPuJHI7uixaa6LQGWx4s+5GKNE=
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>CRYPT</h3><p><code>
+ $ htpasswd -nbd myName myPassword<br />
+ myName:rqXexS6ZhobKA
+ </code></p></div>
+
+
+
+ <h3>Generating CRYPT and MD5 values with the OpenSSL
+ command-line program</h3>
+
+
+ <p>OpenSSL knows the Apache-specific MD5 algorithm.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>MD5</h3><p><code>
+ $ openssl passwd -apr1 myPassword<br />
+ $apr1$qHDFfhPC$nITSVHgYbDAK1Y0acGRnY0
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>CRYPT</h3><p><code>
+ openssl passwd -crypt myPassword<br />
+ qQ5vTYO3c8dsU
+ </code></p></div>
+
+
+ <h3>Validating CRYPT or MD5 passwords with the OpenSSL command
+ line program</h3>
+
+ <p>The salt for a CRYPT password is the first two characters (converted to
+ a binary value). To validate <code>myPassword</code> against
+ <code>rqXexS6ZhobKA</code></p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>CRYPT</h3><p><code>
+ $ openssl passwd -crypt -salt rq myPassword<br />
+ Warning: truncating password to 8 characters<br />
+ rqXexS6ZhobKA
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Note that using <code>myPasswo</code> instead of
+ <code>myPassword</code> will produce the same result because only the
+ first 8 characters of CRYPT passwords are considered.</p>
+
+ <p>The salt for an MD5 password is between <code>$apr1$</code> and the
+ following <code>$</code> (as a Base64-encoded binary value - max 8 chars).
+ To validate <code>myPassword</code> against
+ <code>$apr1$r31.....$HqJZimcKQFAMYayBlzkrA/</code></p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>MD5</h3><p><code>
+ $ openssl passwd -apr1 -salt r31..... myPassword<br />
+ $apr1$r31.....$HqJZimcKQFAMYayBlzkrA/
+ </code></p></div>
+
+
+ <h3>Database password fields for mod_dbd</h3>
+ <p>The SHA1 variant is probably the most useful format for DBD
+ authentication. Since the SHA1 and Base64 functions are commonly
+ available, other software can populate a database with encrypted passwords
+ that are usable by Apache basic authentication.</p>
+
+ <p>To create Apache SHA1-variant basic-authentication passwords in various
+ languages:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>PHP</h3><p><code>
+ '{SHA}' . base64_encode(sha1($password, TRUE))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Java</h3><p><code>
+ "{SHA}" + new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA1").digest(password.getBytes()))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>ColdFusion</h3><p><code>
+ "{SHA}" &amp; ToBase64(BinaryDecode(Hash(password, "SHA1"), "Hex"))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Ruby</h3><p><code>
+ require 'digest/sha1'<br />
+ require 'base64'<br />
+ '{SHA}' + Base64.encode64(Digest::SHA1.digest(password))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>C or C++</h3><p><code>
+ Use the APR function: apr_sha1_base64
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Python</h3><p><code>
+ import base64<br />
+ import hashlib<br />
+ "{SHA}" + format(base64.b64encode(hashlib.sha1(password).digest()))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>PostgreSQL (with the contrib/pgcrypto functions
+ installed)</h3><p><code>
+
+ '{SHA}'||encode(digest(password,'sha1'),'base64')
+ </code></p></div>

+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="digest" id="digest">Digest Authentication</a></h2>
+ <p>Apache recognizes one format for
+ digest-authentication passwords - the MD5 hash of the string
+ <code>user:realm:password</code> as a 32-character string of hexadecimal
+ digits. <code>realm</code> is the Authorization Realm argument to the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_core.html#authname">AuthName</a></code> directive in
+ httpd.conf.</p>
+
+ <h3>Database password fields for mod_dbd</h3>
+
+ <p>Since the MD5 function is commonly available, other software can
+ populate a database with encrypted passwords that are usable by Apache
+ digest authentication.</p>
+
+ <p>To create Apache digest-authentication passwords in various
+ languages:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>PHP</h3><p><code>
+ md5($user . ':' . $realm . ':' .$password)
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Java</h3><p><code>
+ byte b[] = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5").digest( (user + ":" + realm + ":" + password ).getBytes());<br />
+ java.math.BigInteger bi = new java.math.BigInteger(1, b);<br />
+ String s = bi.toString(16);<br />
+ while (s.length() &lt; 32)<br />
+ <span class="indent">
+ s = "0" + s;
+ </span>
+ // String s is the encrypted password
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>ColdFusion</h3><p><code>
+ LCase(Hash( (user &amp; ":" &amp; realm &amp; ":" &amp; password) , "MD5"))
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Ruby</h3><p><code>
+ require 'digest/md5'<br />
+ Digest::MD5.hexdigest(user + ':' + realm + ':' + password)
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>PostgreSQL (with the contrib/pgcrypto functions installed)</h3><p><code>
+
+ encode(digest( user || ':' || realm || ':' || password , 'md5'), 'hex')
+ </code></p></div>
