auth: new subcommand "htpasswd"
great idea by Robin Smidsrød: since users are already capable of authenticating themselves to gitolite via ssh keys, use that to let them set or change their own HTTP passwords (ie, run the "htpasswd" command with the correct parameters on behalf of the "git" user on the server) code, rc para, and documentation. In fact everything except... ahem... testing ;-) and while we're about it, we also reorganised the way these helper commands (including the venerable "info" are called)

|
|||
* the HTTP auth should use the same username (like "sitaram") as used in the
|
||||
gitolite config (for the corresponding user)
|
||||
|
||||
Once that is done, it's easy. Gitweb allows you to specify a subroutine to
|

decide on access. We use that feature and tie it to gitolite. Sample code
|

(untested, munged from something I saw [here][leho]) is given below.

Normally a superuser sets up passwords for users using the "htpasswd" command,
|
||||
but this is an administrative chore.
|
||||
|
||||
Robin Smidsrød had the *great* idea that, since each user already has pubkey
|
||||
access to `git@server`, this gives us a very neat way of using gitolite to let
|
||||
the users *manage their own HTTP passwords*. Here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
* setup apache so that the htaccess file it looks for is owned by the "git"
|
||||
user
|
||||
* in the `~/.gitolite.rc` file, look for the variable `$HTPASSWD_FILE` and
|
||||
point it to this file
|
||||
* tell your users to type in `ssh git@server htpasswd` to set or change
|
||||
their HTTP passwords
|
||||
|
||||
Here's the rest of how it hangs together.

Gitweb allows you to specify a subroutine to decide on access. We use that

feature and tie it to gitolite. Sample code (untested by me, but others do
|
||||
use it, munged from something I saw [here][leho]) is given below.
|
||||
|
||||
Note the **utter simplicity** of the actual check (just 1 line!). This is an
|
||||
unexpected piece of luck coming from the decision to keep the config parse
