    128136This section describes how to use `tracd` with Apache .htpasswd files.
    129137
     138  Note: It is necessary (at least with Python 2.6) to install the fcrypt package in order to
     139  decode the htpasswd format.  Trac source code attempt an `import crypt` first, but there
     140  is no such package for Python 2.6.
     141
    130142To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache):
    131143{{{

    158 Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://www.4webhelp.net/us/password.php online HTTP Password generator].  Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system.
     170Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html online HTTP Password generator].  Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. Note that Windows Python lacks the "crypt" module that is the default hash type for htpasswd ; Windows Python can grok MD5 password hashes just fine and you should use MD5.
    159171
    160172You can use this simple Python script to generate a '''digest''' password file:
     
    202214It is possible to use `md5sum` utility to generate digest-password file:
    203215{{{
    204  $ printf "${user}:trac:${password}" | md5sum - >>user.htdigest
    205 }}}
    206 and manually delete " -" from the end and add "${user}:trac:" to the start of line from 'to-file'.
     216user=
     217realm=
     218password=
     219path_to_file=
     220echo ${user}:${realm}:$(printf "${user}:${realm}:${password}" | md5sum - | sed -e 's/\s\+-//') > ${path_to_file}

     254
     255Use the -d option so that tracd doesn't hang if you close the terminal window where tracd was started.

     284=== Authentication for tracd behind a proxy
     285It is convenient to provide central external authentication to your tracd instances, instead of using {{{--basic-auth}}}. There is some discussion about this in #9206.
     286
     287Below is example configuration based on Apache 2.2, mod_proxy, mod_authnz_ldap.
     288
     289First we bring tracd into Apache's location namespace.
     290
     291{{{
     292<Location /project/proxified>
     293        Require ldap-group cn=somegroup, ou=Groups,dc=domain.com
     294        Require ldap-user somespecificusertoo
     295        ProxyPass http://localhost:8101/project/proxified/
     296        # Turns out we don't really need complicated RewriteRules here at all
     297        RequestHeader set REMOTE_USER %{REMOTE_USER}s
     298</Location>
     299}}}
     300
     301Then we need a single file plugin to recognize HTTP_REMOTE_USER header as valid authentication source. HTTP headers like '''HTTP_FOO_BAR''' will get converted to '''Foo-Bar''' during processing. Name it something like '''remote-user-auth.py''' and drop it into '''proxified/plugins''' directory:
     302{{{
     303#!python
     304from trac.core import *
     305from trac.config import BoolOption
     306from trac.web.api import IAuthenticator
     307
     308class MyRemoteUserAuthenticator(Component):
     309
     310    implements(IAuthenticator)
     311
     312    obey_remote_user_header = BoolOption('trac', 'obey_remote_user_header', 'false',
     313               """Whether the 'Remote-User:' HTTP header is to be trusted for user logins
     314                (''since ??.??').""")
     315
     316    def authenticate(self, req):
     317        if self.obey_remote_user_header and req.get_header('Remote-User'):
     318            return req.get_header('Remote-User')
     319        return None
     320
     321}}}
     322
     323Add this new parameter to your TracIni:
     324{{{
     325...
     326[trac]
     327...
     328obey_remote_user_header = true
     329...
     330}}}
     331
     332Run tracd:
     333{{{
     334tracd -p 8101 -r -s proxified --base-path=/project/proxified
     335}}}
     336
    263337=== Serving a different base path than / ===
    264338Tracd supports serving projects with different base urls than /<project>. The parameter name to change this is
