can apache mod_auth use md5 hashes?

[r.lopez.negrete]

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out if I can force apache's mod_auth to use md5 hashed passwords. Is this possible and if so, how is this set up?

Thanks,
Rodrigo

It should work just fine with an MD5 hash generated with crypt. I use PHP to generate a password file which apache uses with mod_auth.


$fh=fopen('/path/to/password/file','a');
fwrite($fh,$user.':'.crypt($pass)."\n");
fclose($fh);
