title: Digest Authentication
---
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
```
