Apache2 on Ubuntu 12.04 Basic Auth: password mismatch

Fri, 08/17/2012 - 16:03 — tom

The default instructions to have basic http authentication failed on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin. The reason seems to be that the htpasswd tool produces MD5 hashes by default, while the default apache2 installation on Ubuntu 12.04 expects SHA1 hashes. The symptoms are that login attempts always result in password mismatch:
