Description

===========

htpasswd-editor is a simple Perl CGI to manage htpasswd files. It permits to add, list or remove users, 

it also permits an authentificated user to change his password. It can be useful for adding basic access 

control management to a static website (ex: documentation generated from Markdown, Rst, Rdoc...).



Deployment

==========

* Create an htpasswd file:

```

> htpasswd -c  

```

* Change the file's rights:

```

> chown www-data|apache2|httpd 

> chmod 600 

```

* deploy the htpasswd.pl

```

cp htpasswd.pl 

chmod 755 /htpasswd.pl

```

* edit the ```settings``` hash at the begin of htpasswd.pl and change the entries ```dir``` and ```htpasswd```.

```

vim /htpasswd.pl

```

* add the following configuration inside your vhost (htpasswd.pl is protected by the htpasswd it manages):

```

  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ 

  ">

        AllowOverride None

        Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

        AuthName "restrict posting"

        AuthType Basic

        AuthUserFile 

        require valid-user

  

```
