SHORT LINE: PWDGEN generates htpasswd files suitable for access control in websites running under the Apache webserver, and others.
TRACKS:
PWDGEN generates the contents for .htpasswd files used to control access under the Apache webserver. Many other webservers use identical files.
If you don't know that this means, they you probably don't need to use this application.
Input: Input data is of the form:
name:password
...where name is login name and password is the password that user name must enter to have access to the controlled area. The input can have multiple lines, one for each login name. Simply copy/paste the input into the input space.
A realistic input might be:
Output: Output data is of the same form as the input, except that the password is encrypted in a form that the webserver can use to authenticate the user. Simply copy and paste the output from the PWDGEN output space into the .htpasswd file for upload to the webserver.
An output corresponding to the input example above may be:
Note that the output is not unique -- many different outputs correspond to any given input.
