Question

I am trying to change password for a site, and it is using digest authentication.

I tried with the following command

   $ htdigest /home/micke/users/.htdigest Ideometrics guest

and restarted apache2 server but it is not working.
I followed the tutorial –

Answer 1

First u could see the contents of the htdigest password file, like;

$ cat /home/micke/users/.htdigest

And make sure the realm name is correct. If it is;
Then u should at least try;

$ htdigest /home/micke/users/.htdigest 'Ideometrics' 'guest'

or

$ htdigest /home/micke/users/.htdigest 'ideometrics' 'guest'

In any case, the realm name is case-sensitive and you should also make sure that the AuthName directive in your .htaccess is the same case-sensitive realm name.
