XSCHPASS(1)            DragonFly General Commands Manual           XSCHPASS(1)

NAME
     xschpass - Change password for access to protected web-directories

SYNOPSIS
     http://your.site.name/cgi-bin/xschpass/~username/directory

DESCRIPTION
     `xschpass' is a program that lets remote users change the password that
     they use to access a protected web-directory with the xs-httpd webserver.
     This allows users to set a password that is only known by themselves and
     not even by the person who controls the web-directory and who set up the
     initial password.

     Accounts can not be added or removed through the web-interface - this can
     only be done by a person with local directory access through xspasswd(1).
     Also the access type (basic or digest) can only be changed with
     xspasswd(1); if both basic and digest authentication are enabled for a
     user, then setting a new password using xschpass(1) will update both
     passwords.

EXAMPLES
     To change the password that is used to access the URL
           http://your.site.name/~johans/protected/index.html
     one should visit the following `xschpass' location:
           http://your.site.name/cgi-bin/xschpass/~johans/protected/
