Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s174pq5f3gzez3838vt2642fmx848f1d:htpasswd

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# HtPasswd

A real htpasswd file manager for Apache/Nginx HTTP basic authentication. Create password files, add/remove users, verify passwords, and list users. Supports apr1 (Apache MD5), SHA-256, and SHA-512 hash algorithms via `openssl`.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `htpasswd create <file> <user> <password>` | Create a new htpasswd file with the first user (fails if file exists) |
| `htpasswd add <file> <user> <password>` | Add a user to an existing file (or update password if user exists) |
| `htpasswd delete <file> <user>` | Remove a user from the htpasswd file |
| `htpasswd verify <file> <user> <password>` | Verify a user's password (supports apr1, sha256, sha512, sha1, crypt) |
| `htpasswd list <file>` | List all users with their hash algorithm type |
| `htpasswd version` | Show version |
| `htpasswd help` | Show available commands and usage |

## Configuration

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `HTPASSWD_ALGO` | `apr1` | Hash algorithm: `apr1`, `sha256`, or `sha512` |

## Requirements

- Bash 4+ (`set -euo pipefail`)
- `openssl` — for password hashing and verification
- `grep`, `sed` — standard text utilities
- No external dependencies or API keys

## When to Use

1. **Setting up basic auth** — `htpasswd create /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin secret` to create a new file
2. **Managing users** — `htpasswd add` to add users, `htpasswd delete` to remove them
3. **Password verification** — `htpasswd verify` to check if a password is correct
4. **Security audits** — `htpasswd list` shows all users and their hash types
5. **Stronger hashing** — Set `HTPASSWD_ALGO=sha512` for SHA-512 instead of default apr1

## Examples

```bash
# Create a new htpasswd file
htpasswd create /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin MySecretPass

# Add another user
htpasswd add /etc/nginx/.htpasswd editor AnotherPass

# Use SHA-512 for stronger hashing
HTPASSWD_ALGO=sha512 htpasswd add /etc/nginx/.htpasswd secure_user StrongPass

# List all users
htpasswd list /etc/nginx/.htpasswd

# Verify a password
htpasswd verify /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin MySecretPass

# Delete a user
htpasswd delete /etc/nginx/.htpasswd editor
```

### Example Output

```
$ htpasswd create /tmp/.htpasswd admin secret123

## Description:

Generate htpasswd entries for Apache/Nginx basic auth password management. Use when creating credentials, managing password files, or verifying users.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[bytesagain-lab](https://clawhub.ai/user/bytesagain-lab)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and administrators use this skill to create and manage Apache/Nginx basic-auth htpasswd files, including adding, deleting, listing, and verifying users.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill can modify real htpasswd authentication files.

Mitigation: Use it only on files explicitly named by the user, keep backups, and require confirmation before create, add, or delete operations on production authentication files.

Risk: Passwords are accepted as command-line arguments and may be exposed through shell history or process listings.

Mitigation: Prefer a safer password input path before production use and rotate any passwords already entered through command examples or shell history.

Risk: The default apr1 hash algorithm prioritizes compatibility over stronger hashing.

Mitigation: Set HTPASSWD_ALGO=sha512 where compatible with the target Apache or Nginx deployment.

Risk: Username handling requires review before use with production authentication files.

Mitigation: Use simple literal usernames only and avoid production files until username matching has been reviewed for literal handling.
