Synopsis: crypt() is ignored and reports error when tried to be used State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: coar State-Changed-When: Tue May 18 07:35:07 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: Windows does not contain an embedded crypt() function, and Apache cannot supply one that uses the common DES-based algorithm. On Windows, versions of Apache earlier than 1.3.6 can only handle plaintext (i.e., unencrypted) passwords; 1.3.6 and later can handle passwords encrypted using the src/support/htpasswd.exe tool. There are two bugs in 1.3.6: plaintext passwords no longer work, and even encrypted passwords must be shorter than 8 bytes. Both of these are fixed in the next release after 1.3.6. Thanks for your submission, though, and for using Apache!
