Description of problem: I can generate, using htpasswd, a password file, starting with plain-text passwords and every other encryption type, yet agedu --auth basic --auth-file does not authenticate, just keeps popping up and asks to submit user & password Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0-1.r8768.fc13 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I was able to reproduce this. Reporting upstream.
Looks like my problem was caused by having a newline character at the end of the password file, after all. htpasswd puts in a newline character at the end, so you're experiencing the same problem. Create the password file with e.g. $ echo -n "user:pass" > passwd and then it will work.
yep indeed, thanks for this, nice one.
