I didn't know were put this, so I put it here, sorry if I am wrong. It's the first time I set up a webserver, and I was following this http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Apache2_with_subversion_SVN_and_DAV. My password was long (generated with htpasswd2 and it was about 30 characters Capitalized with strange symbols @,#, etc and numbers) but if I put only one part of the password (starting from the begining) apache let me enter into my svn (if I put another password, the access is denied). What happens? Reproducible: Always
Please post exact to steps to reproduce the bug, instead of vague info. - apache/apache-tools versions - how's your authentication configured in apache (relevant part of the conf file) - exact command used to generate the password and the result - what's exactly 'one part' here?
First: gentoo-wiki.com is completely independent from gentoo.org, so please don't file any bugs, when you blindly follow the information this wiki provides. We have nothing to do with it. Second: As written down in the htpasswd man page, when using the crypt algorithmen, it uses only eight characters and discards the rest of your password.
