SYNOPSIS

SUMMARY
htdigest is used to create and update the flat-files used to
store usernames, realm and password for digest authentica-
tion of HTTP users. Resources available from the Apache HTTP
server can be restricted to just the users listed in the
files created by htdigest.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For
details of the directives necessary to configure digest
authentication in httpd see the Apache manual, which is part
of the Apache distribution or can be found at
http://httpd.apache.org/.
OPTIONS

password. If -c is given, this file is created if it
does not already exist, or deleted and recreated if it
does exist.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617#section-3.2.1 for
more details.

added. If it does exist, the password is changed.
