#9008 closed defect (worksforme)

I spent an HOUR today trying to figure out why *some* users couldn't login to trac.

Apparently, whatever you guys and/or apache are doing to parse the htpasswd file, it will not "work" with the ':' character in the password!

I was able to change users' passwords around. As soon as I put ':' in, login failed. Take ':' out, login succeeded.

if you're using plain text passwords, it is no wonder. : is illegal. use hash - MD5 or SHA1 or anything else your htpasswd supports.

Cheers.
