A user definition consists of a user name and password. You may add new users to the users file by htrealm(1m)or by the Sun WebServer GUI. To change a user's password, use htpasswd(1m) or the Sun WebServer GUI.

The password is displayed with BASE64 encoding. If you have installed FrontPage Apache Emulator, this field may be in UNIX encrypted format.

The following syntax rules apply to the users file:
