 htpasswd 

Definition

File of storage of the passwords, used by the waiters revolving under Apache

Description

To limit the access to certain users, one places the name of the users authorized in a htaccess file in the repertory concerned. The passwords corresponding to each user are stored, in a codified way, in a htpasswd file. This file is not necessarily placed in the repertory concerned, it is even advised to place it in a nonaccessible zone in traditional HTTP. Several htaccess files can use the same htpasswd file.
