Ticket #1046 (new enhancement)

htpasswd file does not work when more than two fields exist

Reported by: schwark@alum.rpi.edu Assigned to: pacopablo
Priority: normal Component: AccountManagerPlugin

Cc: Trac Release: 0.11

Description

while standard htpasswd files only have username:password it would be good to be able to add other fields to the htpasswd files (like Twiki does) separated by more ':'.. The current implementation reads the password till end of line instead of till next ':' - would be great to make it stop at next ':'

I know that this is a bit of a late response, but my question is: Why is it a good idea to allow for arbitrary fields in the htpasswd file?

In the case of a password file containing digest and normal password hashes, this would cause a problem as it would take the "realm" portion of the digest line to be the password for the given user.
