I'm using the httpd authentication (.htaccess and .htpasswd) for an

-m parameter in htpasswd to create the users.
# cat .htpasswd
admin:$apr1$DXEZZ/..$EuDQbwbv3Wmf1QKe.leZd0

The user is admin and the password is admin.
How can I encrypt the string "admin" to compare with the string in the
.htpasswd?
Rodrigo I would approach this by using Perl's backtick operator to execute
the htpasswd system command from within the program.
my $tmpPW = '/tmp/pswd';
my $res = `htpasswd -cb $tmpPW admin admin`;
if($res eq 'Adding password for user admin')
then
{
# read $tmpPW and your .htpasswd file
# compare and act accordingly
# delete (Perl unlink function) $tmpPW
}
else { die "htpasswd command failed: $!\n" }
Just an overview of how I'd code it.
FWIW it looks to me like you're trying to write a password application
using htaccess as your base. Personally I'd not got that way, ymmv.
