Generating htdigest passwords without apache2 using wikiscript

[cpt_cowboy@…]

Hello,

I didn't have apache 2 and wanted to run tracd standalone. However, I ran into trouble with authentication, generating a htdigest file from the following script on the trac wiki page:

Generating Passwords Without Apache ​http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracStandalone

I copied the script into a file called "genpass.py" and ran it as follows:

C:\Python23\Scripts>python genpass.py -ucowboy -ppassword

cowboy:trac:12234ded7c880e6d546d236310387979

tracd would not let me login. I then downloaded apache2 and ran the following apache2 htdigest with "password" as the password:

C:\Python23\Scripts>c:\apache2\Apache2\bin\htdigest.exe -c users.htdigest bigcowboy cowboy

Adding password for cowboy in realm bigcowboy.

New password:

Re-type new password:

C:\Python23\Scripts>more users.htdigest

cowboy:bigcowboy:fda79257aec78ddf729b3caec1a3619a

I tried to login with trac, and it worked like a charm. It seems that the script on the wiki is generating incorrect hashes. I hope this helps others in the future.

Thanks, cowboy

Why don't you try the same realm, username and password?

$ htdigest -c users trac cowboy
Adding password for user cowboy in realm trac
New password: password
Re-type new password: password
$ cat users
cowboy:trac:12234ded7c880e6d546d236310387979

Grabbed code from TracStandalone#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache and ran:

sid@[~/Desktop]: python genpass.py -ucowboy -ppassword
cowboy:trac:12234ded7c880e6d546d236310387979

And then the htdigest one:

sid@[~/Desktop]: htdigest -c users trac cowboy
Adding password for cowboy in realm trac.
New password: password
Re-type new password: password
sid@[~/Desktop]: cat users
cowboy:trac:12234ded7c880e6d546d236310387979
