IS IT POSSIBLE TO DECRYPT HTTP PASSWORD?

Post by gilley55 »

i have a website that uses the http authentication system and would like to know if it is possible to decrypt the passwords in the htpassword file to their original human readable format.

when the website was first built, it used the http authentication system. The site has now been redesign using php and MD5 authentication. I would like to convert the old passwords in my htpassword file to MD5.

if this is not possible then how can i make php use the http authentication system.

what is the name of the function that does the password encryption for http authentication and does it work with php?

Thanks in advance :D
