 == Using Authentication
 
-Tracd allows you to run Trac without the need for Apache, but you can take advantage of Apache's password tools (htpasswd and htdigest) to easily create a password file in the proper format for tracd to use in authentication. (It is also possible to create the password file without htpasswd or htdigest; see below for alternatives)
-
-Make sure you place the generated password files on a filesystem which supports sub-second timestamps, as Trac will monitor their modified time and changes happening on a filesystem with too coarse-grained timestamp resolution (like `ext2` or `ext3` on Linux) may go undetected.

 Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. Digest is considered more secure. The examples below use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the command line.

 Then to start `tracd` run something like this:

 === Generating Passwords Without Apache
 
-Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html online HTTP Password generator] which also supports `SHA-1`.  Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. Note that Windows Python lacks the "crypt" module that is the default hash type for htpasswd ; Windows Python can grok MD5 password hashes just fine and you should use MD5.
-
-You can use this simple Python script to generate a '''digest''' password file:
-
-{{{#!python
-from optparse import OptionParser
-# The md5 module is deprecated in Python 2.5
-try:
-    from hashlib import md5
-except ImportError:
-    from md5 import md5
-realm = 'trac'
-
-# build the options
-usage = "usage: %prog [options]"
-parser = OptionParser(usage=usage)
-parser.add_option("-u", "--username",action="store", dest="username", type = "string",
-                  help="the username for whom to generate a password")
-parser.add_option("-p", "--password",action="store", dest="password", type = "string",
-                  help="the password to use")
-parser.add_option("-r", "--realm",action="store", dest="realm", type = "string",
-                  help="the realm in which to create the digest")
-(options, args) = parser.parse_args()
-
-# check options
-if (options.username is None) or (options.password is None):
-   parser.error("You must supply both the username and password")
-if (options.realm is not None):
-   realm = options.realm
-   
-# Generate the string to enter into the htdigest file
-kd = lambda x: md5(':'.join(x)).hexdigest()
-print ':'.join((options.username, realm, kd([options.username, realm, options.password])))
-}}}
-
-Note: If you use the above script you must set the realm in the `--auth` argument to '''`trac`'''. Example usage (assuming you saved the script as trac-digest.py):
-
-{{{#!sh
- $ python trac-digest.py -u username -p password >> c:\digest.txt
- $ tracd --port 8000 --auth=proj_name,c:\digest.txt,trac c:\path\to\proj_name
