Function Documentation

apr_sha1_base64()

void apr_sha1_base64	(	const char *	clear,
		int	len,
		char *	out )

Provide a means to SHA1 crypt/encode a plaintext password in a way which makes password file compatible with those commonly use in netscape web and ldap installations.

Parameters

clear	The plaintext password
len	The length of the plaintext password
out	The encrypted/encoded password

Note

SHA1 support is useful for migration purposes, but is less secure than Apache's password format, since Apache's (MD5) password format uses a random eight character salt to generate one of many possible hashes for the same password. Netscape uses plain SHA1 without a salt, so the same password will always generate the same hash, making it easier to break since the search space is smaller.

apr_sha1_final()

void apr_sha1_final	(	unsigned char	digest[APR_SHA1_DIGESTSIZE],
		apr_sha1_ctx_t *	context )

Finish computing the SHA digest

Parameters

digest	the output buffer in which to store the digest
context	The context to finalize

apr_sha1_init()

void apr_sha1_init

(

apr_sha1_ctx_t *

context

)

Parameters

context

apr_sha1_update()

void apr_sha1_update	(	apr_sha1_ctx_t *	context,
		const char *	input,
		unsigned int	inputLen )

Update the SHA digest

Parameters

context	The SHA1 context to update
input	The buffer to add to the SHA digest
inputLen	The length of the input buffer

apr_sha1_update_binary()

void apr_sha1_update_binary	(	apr_sha1_ctx_t *	context,
		const unsigned char *	input,
		unsigned int	inputLen )

Update the SHA digest with binary data

Parameters

context	The SHA1 context to update
input	The buffer to add to the SHA digest
inputLen	The length of the input buffer
