na_httpd.passwd - file of passwords required for HTTP
access
/etc/httpd.passwd
The password file containing the encrypted form of the
password that an HTTP client must supply to have access to
a file in a controlled-access directory tree, as declared
in /etc/httpd.access.
The password is encrypted in the regular UNIX style. User
of NCSA or Apache can use their htpasswd program to generate
the user_id:passwd pair.
The HTTP access control does not use the existing CIFS
password database on the filer because in http basic
authentication, in each request for protected pages, the
value of passwd is sent over the network in clear text,
and without encryption would compromise the user's password.
user_id1:encrypted_passwd1
used_id2:encrypted_passwd2
