<h1>Plain Validator</h1>
<p>The plain validator uses a flat-file to authenticate users.</p>
<div class="section" id="syntax">
<h1>Syntax</h1>
<p>Each line defines a user. The username and password are delimited by a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:</span></tt>
colon.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="parameters">
<h1>Parameters</h1>
<table class="docutils">
<colgroup>
<col width="34%" />
<col width="66%" />
</colgroup>
<thead valign="bottom">
<tr><th class="head">Parameter</th>
<th class="head">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody valign="top">
<tr><td><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">passwdfile</span></tt></td>
<td>Required. The location of the user/pass file.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="section" id="compatibility">
<h1>Compatibility</h1>
<p>This validator is compatible with both <strong>basic</strong> and <strong>digest</strong> schemes.</p>
<div class="section" id="example">
<h2>Example</h2>
<pre class="literal-block">
vserver!default!directory!/secret/!
</pre>
<p>The directory secret requieres a valid login/password pair from the /var/passwordsweb. They can authenticate with Basic or the Digest methos.
You can place the password file outside the web tree, in this way, remote users won't be able to fetch the list.</p>
