This is a perl CGI script used to manage multiple usernames/passwords for .htaccess/.htpasswd directory protection. This works on most web sites and can be used to handle many password protected folders. In addition to storing the username and encrypted password, you may add additional info for your members such as name, e-mail and comments to help you manage who has access to your "members only" web site. New features include setting an expiration date for a user, keyword search of your members' list and batch removal of users.

This project implements an MD5-based encryption scheme on both client and server machines to allow encrypted password protection for web-based Perl/CGI applications. Although there are many free Perl/CGI application for password protection, only a few use MD5 on the server-side, but the password still travels over the internet as plain text. All server-side only schemes (like .htaccess password protection) are completely open to packet-sniffing. With this scheme, the browser JavaScript encrypts the password on the client's machine, and session tracking allows only one response per session ID, making simple packet-sniffing and session replaying much more difficult.

Paul Johnson wrote the JavaScript MD5 code, and released it under the Open Source BSD license. Without this contribution, and the guidance of his web site this project would not be possible.
