Generate a 56-bit DES encrypted (htpasswd) password with Ruby
CSS posted 12 months ago by christian
Run the following in an irb console to generate a 56-bit DES encrypted password:
1 "password".crypt("salt")
The password can be used in an Apache or Nginx htpasswd file to enable basic authentication.
The generated password can also be used in other Unix password files.
