Hi Erik, thanks again for this howto. I finally got HTDigest working. I had originally tried to use an existing digest file and changed the realm, forgetting that the realm is used as the salt.
I'm glad you mentioned the htdigest command doesn't need the @ sign in the username, and I'll add it doesn't need the domain name either – ie username@example.com, only need username.
Thank you for sharing!
