NAME
owdigestgenpass - Add a user name and password to a password file for HTTP digest authentication

SYNOPSIS
owdigestgenpass -l LOGIN_NAME -f PASSWORD_FILE [-h HOSTNAME] [-p PASSWORD]

DESCRIPTION
owdigestgenpass is used to add a user and password to a digest password file suitable for use with the owcimomd digest authentication module. If the file does not exist, it is created with a single entry. If the file already exists, the new authentication credentials are appended to the file.

OPTIONS

-l LOGIN_NAME
    The name of the user.

-f PASSWORD_FILE
    The path to the filename that is to be created or appended to.

-h HOSTNAME
    The hostname of the computer that this password file will be used on. If this parameter is omitted, owdigestgenpass will use the hostname of the computer it is executed on. (It's safer to omit this parameter, so that the hostname that is used will match the one that the digest authentication module will use.)

-p PASSWORD
    The password for the new user. If this parameter is omitted, you will be prompted for the password (echo off).

FILES
openwbem.conf The configuration file specifies if the digest authentication module is to be used. It also specifies the path to the digest password file.
