htpasswd

Puppet module to manage htpasswd and htgroup files

Changes from upstream

• Removed parsing and generation of comments
• Now allows modification of already existing accounts that were not managed by puppet before

htpasswd type

add a user

htpasswd { 'dan':
  cryptpasswd => 'MrC7Aq3qPKPaK',  # encrypted password
  target      => '/etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd',
}

add a second user with the same username to a different file

htpasswd { 'dan2':
  username    => 'dan',
  cryptpasswd => 'djkhfsdhfkjsd',  # encrypted password
  target      => '/etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd2',
}

remove a user

htpasswd { user:
  ensure => absent,
  target => '/etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd',
}

htgroup type

add a group

htgroup { groupname:
  users  => [ user1, user2, ],
  target => '/etc/httpd/conf/htgroup',
}

remove a group

htgroup { groupname:
  ensure => absent,
  target => '/etc/httpd/conf/htgroup',
}

helper parser functions

encrypt 'password' with 'salt' using the crypt method

ht_md5('password', 'salt')

encrypt 'password' with 'salt' using the apache MD5 method

ht_sha1('password')
