- .TH XSPASSWD 1 "26 March 1996"
- .SH NAME
- xspasswd - Manager for WWW authentication passwords using the XS-HTTPD
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .ta 8n
- .B xspasswd
- .LP
- .SH DESCRIPTION OF XSPASSWD
- XSPASSWD is a program that lets you manage the usercode/password database
- for the authentication feature of the XS-HTTPD.
- .LP
- Authentication works very simply: if a file called fI.xsauthfP is present
- in the directory in which a file is going to be retrieved, then the remote
- user will be asked for a usercode and password before the file is allowed
- to be retrieved. This program manages the fI.xsauthfP file.
- .SH RUNNING XSPASSWD
- Change your current directory to the directory that you wish to protect
- with usercodes and passwords. Note that subdirectories of that subdirectory
- are fBnotfP protected. You have to place a seperate fI.xsauthfP file per
- directory that you wish to protect. You can of course use symbolic or
- hard links to make them all equal.
- .LP
- Then, type fBxspasswdfP. The program will start up. It will ask you
- for a username. Type a username and press ENTER. Then, the program asks
- for a password for that username. Type something press ENTER. The program
- then asks you to re-enter the password that you just typed. Do that and
- press ENTER again. Now the program asks if you wish to fBlockfP the
- password. If you answer fByesfP, it will not be possible to change the
- password using the WWW form (see below). If you answer fBnofP, it is
- possible to change the password using the WWW form. After you press ENTER,
- the program will update (or create) the fI.xsauthfP file.
- .LP
- Note that you can have as many usercodes and passwords as you wish.
- .LP
- You can also use this program to change passwords. Just type an existing
- username when the program prompts you for a username. You do not have to
- enter the old password. Users using the WWW form fIarefP required to
- enter the old password before changing it to a new one.
- .SH THE WWW FORM
- This program has a similar program for the WWW. This other program is
- called fBxschpassfP. It can be used by making a link to the following URL:
- .LP
- http://your.site.name/cgi-bin/xschpass/~fIUSERNAMEfP/fIdirectoryfP
- .LP
- where fIUSERNAMEfP is your usercode on that system. fIdirectoryfP is
- the directory in which the fI.xsauthfP file is situated.
- .LP
- Users using the WWW form are only allowed to change a password if they
- know the old password.
- .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
- I thank all the members at MCGV Stack who are actively involved in the
- entire WWW happening.
