Because with multiple servers, we store them all in (replicated) mysql :) (the same with postfix/dovecot). and as I'm sure you are aware, Apache does not understand standard crypted MD5, hence why there is the second option of apache_md5_crypt()
Oh, let me guess: You are using Windows, Netware, TPF as OS for your web servers? ;-)
man htpasswd | grep -- '-d ' -d Use crypt() encryption for passwords. This is not supported by the httpd server on Windows and Netware and TPF.
As you may have seen in my previous mail, the password is generated using crypt(). HTTP Authentication works with that password hash, even with the httpd from the ASF.
I think you need to do some homework, and although I now have 3.25 days of holidays remaining, I don't intend to waste them educating anybody hehe. Assuming you even know what I'm talking about, which I suspect you don't since you keep using console commands and things like htpasswd, which does not write to a mysql db, you don't seem to have comprehended that I do not work with flat files nor local so it is irrelevant, I use perl scripts for all systems management, so I hope you are not going to suggest that I should make a system call when I can do it natively in perl.
But please, by all means, create a mysql db using a system crpyted md5 password, I'll even help ya, openssl passwd -1 foobartilly
$1$e3a.f3uW$SYRQiMlEhC5XlnSxtxiNC/
pop the entry into the db and go for your life trying to authenticate.
and when you've gone through half bottle of bourbon trying to figure out why its not working, try the apache crypted md5 version $apr1$yKxk.DrQ $ybcmM8mC1qD5t5FvoY9820
If you stop, and think about what I've said, you just might wake up to what I've been saying.
Cheers
PS me use windaz? wash your bloody mouth out mister! ;) (Slackware all the way)
