RE: [PHP] Automate the apache authentication process

[jason@phpdev htdocs]$ /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd --help Usage: htpasswd [-cmdps] passwordfile username htpasswd -b[cmdps] passwordfile username password -c Create a new file. -m Force MD5 encryption of the password. -d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default). -p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext). -s Force SHA encryption of the password. -b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for it. Looks like you should be able to run htpasswd as a fire-and-forget operation, just play with the flags. Jason
