htpasswd and special characters

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have been working with htpasswd and .htaccess to limit access to a
website.

When I create a user with htpasswd and specify a password with the
symbols '$', '&', or '!' I cannot log into the website. When I specify a
password without those symbols I can log into the website.

The man page for htpasswd did not state certain special characters are
not allowed.

Is there a reason why I can't use the $, &, or ! symbol?
