Hi Marty,
i was looking also for a solution some time ago. As far as i know, Revolution
cannot create such passwords on without "external" help. Please anyone correct
me, if i am wrong.
For a customer i created an app, which helps him to create and protect folders.
The complete app creates/modifies/deletes the .htacess and the .htpasswd files
for him.
This is how i solved the password creation:
1. I created a php-file with the following content e.g:
______________
<?php
// set password
echo "Password created";
echo"<br>" ;
echo crypt($pass , 'sa');
//you can replaces ´sa´ with whatever 2 characters you want
?>
_____________________________
This php file was put on the customers webserver.
2. the following lines call the php-script and passes the "real" text-password
to the php, which then returns 2 lines. In the second line there is the
encrypted password. To be sure, that the php was executed correctly, i check
for "Password created" in line 1.
____________________________
put URL ("http://www.revolutionatwork.com/passwordcreate.php?pass="; &
sPassword) into sOutput
if line 1 of sOutput is "Password created"
then
put line 2 of sOutput into sEncryptedPassword
_____________________________________________
My customer uses this for several months now without problems.
The other way would be (at least under Windows) to use the shell() function to
run the htpasswd.exe from the windows version of the appache server to create
the password.
But my solution should run as a cgi also. I am not very familiar with rev as
cgi right now, so anyone may correct me, if i am wrong.
You may use the above link to the php for testing purposes.
Regards,
Matthias
