SYNOPSIS
authpass [--cipher blowfish|md5] [--file filename] [--password password]
realm username roles...
DESCRIPTION
The authpass program creates authentication passwords for Appweb. It
should be used to create passwords for the "config" or "app"
authentication stores. If using the "config" authentication store, use
the "--file" option to specify the name of the password file.
authpass --file auth.conf --password pass1 example.com joshua
administrator buyer
If using the "app" authentication store, omit the "--file" option and the
password will be displayed to the standard output.
authpass --password pass1 example.com joshua administrator buyer
OPTIONS
--cipher blowfish|md5
Specifies the cipher to use to hash the password. Default is
blowfish. Blowfish is substantially more secure. MD5 must be used
for digest authentication.
--password password
Specifies a password to use to for the user.
--file filename
Update the specified password configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
The authpass program is used to create and manage user passwords. Appweb
uses the same authorization file and format for Basic, Digest and Post
authentication stores. This simplifies administration.
