I have MS FrontPage Server extensions 1.1 loaded on my FreeBSD 2.1.5 release
and Apache 1.1.1 server. Everything works fine, except the password
authentication - I have to manually copy a password from a FreeBSD generated
password file to the MS Frontpage password file (thanks to an earlier
posting to this list I saved many hours of pulling hair). The FreeBSD
passwords are MD5 and the FrontPage appear to be DES.
My questions are thus:
It appears Apache does the authentication of users coming in with
MD5 and FrontPage is creating the passwords with its Administrator function
using DES. Is this a correct synopsis?
What is the best way to fix this? Should I compile my system using
the DES crypt? What exactly is the method of switching from MD5 to DES - I
didn't see it mentioned in the handbook, it only talked about how to
recognize which you have installed. Do I need to use a compile flag for this?
Thanks,
Gib
