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. App-
web uses the same authorization file and format for Basic, Digest and
Post authentication stores. This simplifies administration.
