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.
