Hi Tom!
I discovered that when I entered users & passwords with the mysql command
line using password(), encrypt(), sha1() or old_password, only encrypt()
was readable by apache authentication. Then I entered users and
passwords using apache's htpasswd to generate md5 sha1 crypt and apache
was able to authenticate those.
So much to my surprise, mysql's sha1 and md5 produces an encryption not
readable by apache. I was under the assumption that all sha1 and md5
encryptions were the same across all applications!
re: "... encryptions were all the same..."
Unfortunately, no. The binary calculation is the same, but the encoding of the result differs
considerably.
There are some notes about password encryption in the Apache docs here:
