Does anyone know where I can find a htaccess password generator that runs in
Windows and converts based on a file of usernames:passwords?  There are many
such generators where you must enter one name:password at a time, but I have
 500
members to generate passwords for and I can't face doing them one at a time.
Hopefully there is a free utility that does this.  If I must pay for it, kay
sera.

Not completely what you want, but it might help you... Or perhaps you
can amend the form and submit it?

$ cat userpassfile.txt
user1:bananas
user2:oranges
someuser:lemons
anotheruser:strawberries

$ cat userpassfile.txt | perl -ne 'chomp;@_=split/:/;print qq!$_[0]:! .
crypt($_[1],$_[0]). qq!\n! if $_[1]'
user1:us.VqtcMg9bNY
user2:us9gkSuV7cRmY
someuser:soFV0I0Kz1vto
anotheruser:anKlqXAj8Rp8Q


That's free.

Those are unix commands, not Windows.  My host does not allow me to Telnet t
o
their servers and I don't know how to issue unix commands another way.   Tha
t's
why I'm looking for a Windows utility.

Perl will run on almost any OS, including Windows.

Here's a self contained script that does exactly the same.


#!usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $userpassfile = '/home/bwakem/userpassfile.txt';

open (USERPASSFILE, "< $userpassfile") or die "Cannot open userpass file -
$!";
while (<USERPASSFILE> ) {
chomp;
next if !$_;
my ($user,$pass) = split/:/;
print qq!$user:! . crypt($pass,$user). qq!\n!;
}
close USERPASSFILE;

Thank you very much.  It does what I need perfectly.
