> Hello,
>
> I need some clarification regarding usage of htpasswd tool.
>
> Environment:
> Apache 1.3.12, Apache JServ 1.1, JDK1.2, JSDK2.0
>
> Problem:
> For performing the authentication of users of my resources, I am using a
> password file created using htpasswd utility.So it contains the user name
> and the message digest of the password (default is MD5).
> I am not using .htaccess files.Instead,when a user asks for a protected
> resource, he will be prompted for authentication using a simple page.
> Now,using the security API of JDK, I create a digest of the password that
> he entered, and check it against the one generated by the htpasswd
> tool.The password digests are not at all matching.
> The digest generated by JDK matches with the standard MD5 digest for a
> particular message.
> For example MD5 ("abc") = 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72 (in hex) is
> matching with the one generated by JDK
>
> Please let me know how to programmatically compare the digest generated by
> apache with other digests
> Thanks in advance,
