 Open your browser to http://localhost:8000 to test out your new Trac project. You should see the title "Welcome to Trac 0.11b2" in your browser, and in the command window from which you just launched '''tracd''' there will be a series of status log messages. These messages will continue to update as you move around the Trac site. When you are done, return to the command window from which you launched tracd and press Ctrl+Break to stop tracd.

+=== Creating authentication with tracd on Windows (Standalone) ===
+
+If you are running tracd without Apache, you can use this simple Python script to generate your passwords for tracd.  Copy the contents below into a new file called 'C:\Python25\scripts\trac-digest.py'.
+
+{{{
+#!python
+from optparse import OptionParser
+import md5
+
+# build the options
+usage = "usage: %prog [options]"
+parser = OptionParser(usage=usage)
+parser.add_option("-u", "--username",action="store", dest="username", type = "string",
+                  help="the username for whom to generate a password")
+parser.add_option("-p", "--password",action="store", dest="password", type = "string",
+                  help="the password to use")
+(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
+
+# check options
+if (options.username is None) or (options.password is None):
+   parser.error("You must supply both the username and password")
+   
+# Generate the string to enter into the htdigest file
+realm = 'trac'
+kd = lambda x: md5.md5(':'.join(x)).hexdigest()
+print ':'.join((options.username, realm, kd([options.username, realm, options.password])))
+}}}
+
+You can create a new password file, or add new users to the file, by executing this command from the command line:
+{{{
+C:\Python25\Scripts\trac-digest.py -u "My User Name" -p my@user@password >> C:\projects\passwords.txt
+}}}
+
+To start tracd with authentication, execute this command from the command line:
+{{{
+C:\Python25\Scripts\tracd-script.py -p 8000 --auth=dev,C:\projects\passwords.txt,trac c:\projects\trac\my-project
+}}}
+
