HTTP Authentication (htaccess + htpasswd)

[alexillsley]

Hi,
Is there anyway to use HTTP Authentication (htaccess + htpasswd) with MD5encrypted passwords?
Thanks,
Alex

Take a look at man htpasswd:
htpasswd encrypts passwords using either a version of MD5 modified for
Apache, the system's crypt(3) routine (the default), or SHA encryption.
Files managed by htpasswd may contain all types of passwords e.g. some
user records may have MD5-encrypted passwords while others in the same
file have passwords encrypted with crypt(3).
