<p>The <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> directive sets the name
of a textual file containing the list of users and passwords for
- user authentication. <em>File-path</em> is the path to the user
- file. If it is not absolute (<em>i.e.</em>, if it doesn't begin
-
with a slash), it is treated as relative to the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>

+ file. If it is not absolute, it is treated as relative to the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>.</p>
<p>Each line of the user file contains a username followed by
- a colon, followed by the <code>crypt()</code> encrypted
- password. The behavior of multiple occurrences of the same user is
- undefined.</p>
+ a colon, followed by the encrypted password. If the same user
+ ID is defined multiple times, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_file.html">mod_authn_file</a></code> will
+ use the first occurrence to verify the password.</p>
+
+ <p>The encrypted password format depends on which authentication
+ frontend (e.g. <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code> or
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>) is being used. See <a href="../misc/password_encryptions.html">Password Formats</a> for

- <p>The utility <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a>
+ <p>For <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_basic.html">mod_auth_basic</a></code>, use the utility <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">htpasswd</a></code>

- details. In short:</p>
+ can be found in <code>src/support</code>. See the
+ <a href="../programs/htpasswd.html">man page</a> for more details.
+ In short:</p>
- <p>Create a password file 'Filename' with 'username' as the
- initial ID. It will prompt for the password:</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>htpasswd -c Filename username</code></p></div>
+ <p>Create a password file <code>Filename</code> with
+ <code>username</code> as the initial ID. It will prompt for
+ the password:</p>
- <p>Add or modify 'username2' in the password file 'Filename':</p>
- <div class="example"><p><code>htpasswd Filename username2</code></p></div>
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ htpasswd -c Filename username
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Add or modify <code>username2</code> in the password file
+ <code>Filename</code>:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ htpasswd Filename username2
+ </code></p></div>
<p>Note that searching large text files is <em>very</em>
inefficient; <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_authn_dbm.html#authdbmuserfile">AuthDBMUserFile</a></code> should be used
instead.</p>
- <div class="note"><h3>Security</h3>
- <p>Make sure that the <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code> is
- stored outside the document tree of the web-server; do <em>not</em>
- put it in the directory that it protects. Otherwise, clients will
- be able to download the <code class="directive">AuthUserFile</code>.</p>
+ <p>For <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_auth_digest.html">mod_auth_digest</a></code>, use <code class="program"><a href="../programs/htdigest.html">htdigest</a></code>
+ instead. Note that you cannot mix user data for Digest Authentication
+ and Basic Authentication within the same file.</p>
+
+ <div class="warning"><h3>Security</h3>
