Calling all Apache hackers...	by nix	2003-05-24 19:43:47
I'm trying to write a Linux PAM module to authenticate based on Apache htpasswd files (called pam_htpasswd). The intention of this is to allow Apache (in conjunction with mod_auth_pam) to use its native authentication system through PAM, so that nifty things like pam_nologin and pam_tally can be used to strengthen authentication without modification to the Apache codebase. A side-effect would be to allow htpasswd authentication for other systems, such as email. Maybe once I'm done writing this, I'll write a patch on htpasswd to run new passwords through pam, to allow the use of nifty toys like pam_cracklib. Anyway, is there an API or library anywhere out there for accessing htpasswd files and encrypting htpasswd passwords? Or do I have to dig the appropriate algorithms out of the Apache source and write my own?
