[Klone-users] simple authentication klapp (updated)

[Alvaro Pereira]

Hi Thomas,

I am very interested in this new username/password feature and had a
look on the example, but I have a couple of questions:

1.- How do you generate the encrypted passwords? I had a look in 2
different websites on how to create .htpasswd files, but none of them
come out with an encrypted password similar to Klone's. I suppose Klone
must have a different generator algorithm. 

2.- In the example the passwd file is actually embedded. But how about
if I would like to have such a file in the file system of my embedded
product. The reason is that I would like to access it as an
administrator and be able to add/change/delete passwords, so the
combination of usernames/passwords can be tailored for each unit we
produce. It would be ideal the administrator is able to access this file
through the web service itself (something I can do right now, but
without the encryption capability).
So let's say that when I log into the unit using Klone, there is a page
that submits an HTML form where I can do these operations in the passwd
file.

3.- How can I have a look on the libu:pwd module API? I guess it is the
one with all these definitions. In the example there are functions like
u_pwd_auth_user and u_pwd_init. Where are they defined?

Regards,
Alvaro

A new version of the above klapp which uses an embedded htpasswd-like  
credential database is available at:
http://www.koanlogic.com/download/klone/klapp-auth-simple-1.0.2.tar.gz

The new htpasswd-like features (provided by the libu::pwd module) will  
be available starting from the next official KLone release.  For the  
moment, a snapshot release (i.e. 2.0.3rc0) is found at:
http://www.koanlogic.com/download/klone/klone-2.0.3rc0.tar.gz

Have fun, and in case of doubt ask.

ciao, t.
