Mongoose has a built-in Digest (MD5) authentication support. In order to
|
|
|
|
|
enable Digest authentication, create a file `.htpasswd` in the directory
|
|
|
|
|
you would like to protect. That file should be in the format that Apache's
|
|
|
|
|
`htdigest` utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use either Apache `htdigest` utility, or
|
|
|
|
|
Mongoose pre-build binary (https://www.cesanta.com/products/binary)
|
|
|
|
|
to add new users into that file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
mongoose -A /path/to/.htdigest mydomain.com joe joes_password
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
