NAME

       axhtpasswd - Manage user files for basic authentication

SYNOPSIS

       axhttpd username

DESCRIPTION

       axhtpasswd  is  used to help manually edit .htpasswd files, used by axhttpd This file is formatted as the
       familiar colon-separated username/encrypted-password pair, records delimited  by  newlines.  The  program
       reads the username from command line and the password from input, outputs the username/encrypted-password
       pair then exits.

       The  encryption  of  this  password  uses  a  proprietary  algorithm  due to the dependency of many crypt
       libraries on DES, so the generated .htpasswd is not portable among other HTTPDs.

OPTIONS

       This program does not accept any other command line options.
