NAME

 authen-paas-passwd   Create/update password file entries

SYNOPSIS

  authen-paas-passwd [OPTIONS] PASSWD-FILE USERNAME

  Options:

     --create   create password file if not existing
     --md5      force use of md5 passwords
     --sha1     force use of sha1 passwords
     --help     show this help messages

DESCRIPTION

Similar to traditional Apache htpasswd(1) command, this provides a tool for creating / updating user's password entries in the configuration file format used by Authen::PAAS::BasicLoginModule

NB, the SHA1 password hashing is only available on a few systems, notably not most Linux systems.

EXAMPLES

  # Update joeblogs
  $ authen-paas-passwd /etc/authen-paas-passwd.cfg joeblogs

  # Update joeblogs, creating the password file if
  # it does not already exist
  $ authen-paas-passwd --create /etc/authen-paas-passwd.cfg joeblogs

  # Update joe blogs, using md5 crypt
  $ authen-paas-passwd --md5 /etc/authen-paas-passwd.cfg joeblogs
