Title:

How to generate password for users when using password file for authentication in Cruise

Problem:

Cruise did not ship a tool to generate password with SHA1 for users. However, there are lots of tools does.

Solution Description:

You can use htpasswd from Apache to generate SHA1 password. The attached file is for Windows users.

Looks like the link is still not working.

Hi Mike,

htpasswd is part of the Apache distribution 'httpd', so you can not get it directly.

Now I have uploaded htpasswd.exe.

You can refer to the manual page which only lists the command line arguments.

No, I mean the first link in your original post is broken. It points here:

I did end up using the utility from the apache distro but I'm just letting you know that the link was broken.

Thanks Mike - I did see your original post, and I am trying to get the page set up. Unfortunately we have infrastructure problems with the Studios website which is preventing them from fixing it right now. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reminding us.

The following Ruby snippet should get the job done:

require 'digest/sha1'

require 'base64'

'{SHA}' + Base64.encode64(Digest::SHA1.digest(password))

Of course htpasswd provides more options, but nice to know the above when you already have Ruby on your system ;)
