NAME

Mozilla::Persona::Validate::Htpasswd - validate the existence via an Apache Htpasswd file

INHERITANCE

 Mozilla::Persona::Validate::Htpasswd
   is a Mozilla::Persona::Validate

SYNOPSIS

  # add to the configation of $domain.json
  { ...
    "validate" : {
      "class"  : "Mozilla::Persona::Validator::Htpasswd",
      "pwfile" : "$path_to_file",
    },
    ...
  }

DESCRIPTION

The validator object must ensure that the user/password combination is valid. In this case, an htpasswd file (as defined by Apache) is used to authenticate the user. This file can be shared between the website configuration and Persona, but does not need to.

You can use apache's htpasswd or htpasswd2 command to maintain the file.
