Win7, by default, disables use of BasicAuthentication unless the connection is via SSL.

It is running on Windows7X64. Some of our folders are protected and we use .htpasswd files to authenticate the users with CRYPT-ed passwords. THe whole website is version controlled in CVS and I work on a checked out copy of the website. Now I need to develop some PHP scripts and these need to know which user is logged on so for debugging I must get the authentication going. But so far I have been out of luck using the file with CRYPT:ed passwords. I discovered: If I use the htpasswd command to create a password on the Win7 box it seems to totally disregard the command line switch to make a CRYPT password, instead it always forces use of MD5. On the real server (at Network Solutions) the normal .htpasswd file works just fine. How can I make Apache2.2 on Win7X64 use the existing passwords so I can continue developing the PHP scripts? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@httpd.apache.org
