Very nice hack.... I found it very useful tu avoid editing the .htaccess file outside the server administration control panel... :nervous:

But I can't manage to make it working...

Actually, the function you use to hash password within the .htaccess file,

PHP Code:

$passwortverschluesselt = crypt($HTTP_POST_VARS[passwort]); 


doesn't match with my server's algorithm. So I always get 'wrong pw error'.
I'm on a Linux / Apache server...

I saw you don't use the salt key... Hwr as you can see on http://www.php.net/crypt manual, to create an .htaccess compatible hash is suggested to use the first two chars of the pw as salt:

PHP Code:

//To generate a .htaccess-based authentication with DES, 
// you have to use the first two characters of your password as salt.

$pass = "something";
$ht_pass = crypt($pass,substr($pass,0,2)); 


It doesn't work too on my server.
I create the htaccess file with an Apache cpanel and got an hash. When trying the crypt() algorithm with different salts, I can't manage to obtain the same hash... :cross-eyed:

Thanks
