The password file format is documented in the Usage Instruction section at https://github.com/gocd/gocd-filebased-authentication-plugin#usage-instructions. To quote
> You can put as many username/hashed password pairs as you like -- use a new line for each one This section on the README talks about the configuration of the plugin: https://github.com/gocd/gocd-filebased-authentication-plugin#configuration. The general assumption we make across most of the plugins is that folks know how to read "path-to-password-file" means. To put it in "exact steps" fashion, You can put the file anywhere on the machine, you just need to make sure the gocd-server process can access it. If you feel the documentation can be improved further, please send across a PR on the plugin repo <https://github.com/gocd/gocd-filebased-authentication-plugin> or the docs repo <https://github.com/gocd/docs.go.cd> with better documentation. We love contributions from our users. Thanks, On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 10:53 PM 'smtechx5000' via go-cd < [email protected]> wrote: > Does the file name need to be '.htpasswd' ?
