use unencrypted password for apache Authentication userfile

[nimait70]

Hi everyone
i have a question:
can i use unencrypted password in apache Authentication userfile?
i'm using basic authentication in my one of visual host but i need to place unencrypted password in authentication user file.

by uncrypted i mean place username and password with this format :

user:Password

for user : nimait70
and password : nimait :

nimait70:nima

not encrypted like :

nimait70:PEj4m4jCVWrh2

nimait70:$apr1$SsxGLWb3$FzVvv4fipaezcBZd8aSiG0

thanks

Hi,

Do you mean like using the "-p" (plaintext) option when using htpasswd to create your password file?

[nimait70]

look, i have a authentication user file that the users are stored in it.
users list is some thing like this :

tom:akbar
john:hjdjdjd
nima:kdfndjkfj

but the apache will not authorize them unless they have encrypted password, somethings like this:

tom:$apr1$Fwdpm9Bs$5JaEIPfnMrmdMwZ7REbKk1
john:$apr1$OXEdyeQ5$9JCYTxZhczAkmSOGKQ3gQ1
nima:$apr1$ZI0kmfrX$EwQLy19RGv5/xBOxywt7o0

but i want apache to use first way authentication...how can i do that?

I am guessing that, if you created the password file using the "-p" option (or did it by hand), then, according to the htpasswd man page:

 -p     Use plaintext passwords. Though htpasswd will support creation on all platforms, the httpd daemon will only accept plain text passwords on Windows, Netware and TPF.
