These are used to perform HTTP Digest +authentication. Storing these hashes is more secure than storing plain text +passwords. An HA1 is an MD5 hash of the username, realm and password for the +given user. +.Pp +.Nm +will prompt you for the information it needs to create an HA1 hash and then +output that hash on the console. You can use this tool in scripts to put hashes +in your database. +.Pp +When used in batch mode (by specifying the +.Fl b +option) +.Nm +reads user information from it's input and outputs hashes for each user. Each input +line should be in the following format: +.Pp +.Dl user:realm:password +.Pp +.Sh OPTIONS +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width Fl +.It Fl b +Batch mode (described above). +.It Fl p +The +.Ar password +to hash.
