The encryption algorithm used by Apache to create the .htpasswd files is similar to an MD5 encryption, but it has been modified. The &quot;htpasswd&quot; program that comes with Apache is probably your best bet. You can call it from your C# application and let it do the work.<br />

Thanks.<br />

Thanks for the tip because I was about to try using the MD5 encryption and I would have been disappointed. Do you know how I can access the Apache version? I'm not familiar with the Apache system and interfaces.<br />

OK Thansk for your help. &nbsp;I'm going to close this question and ask another more specific question about where to get the Apache encryption algorithm for use in a windows environment.

Does anyone know of a C++ or C# function (source code or a DLL) for providing the HTPASSWD encryption algorithm? That is. I'm looking to encrypt passwords and storing them in the HTPASSWD file format and I need the algorithm for encrypting the ASCII passwords.<br />

HTPASSWD encryption algorithm for C# or C++

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
