htpasswd (HTTP Basic Auth)
An Apache/nginx .htpasswd file with two users hashed using the {SHA} scheme (Base64 SHA-1): the sample passwords are documented in the file, for testing Basic-Auth credential parsers and hash identification.
# .htpasswd - HTTP Basic Auth (sample fixture, {SHA} scheme).
# Passwords: webadmin -> 'sample-password', guest -> 'guest'.

Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Exercise htpasswd (HTTP Basic Auth) in its security workflow. An Apache/nginx .htpasswd file with two users hashed using the {SHA} scheme (Base64 SHA-1): the sample passwords are documented in the file, for testing Basic-Auth credential parsers and hash identification.
- Expected result
- 4 text lines, decoded as UTF-8; first nonempty line is `# .htpasswd - HTTP Basic Auth (sample fixture, {SHA} scheme).`. Declared feature checks: scheme={SHA} (base64 sha1); users=2; passwords=documented in the file.
What is a .htpasswd file?
An .htpasswd file stores usernames and hashed passwords for HTTP Basic Authentication, one user per line as user:hash. The hash is typically bcrypt, Apache MD5 (apr1), or SHA, never plaintext. Apache and nginx read it to guard a directory or route.
How to use this file
Use an example .htpasswd to test Basic-Auth credential parsers, password-hash identification, and web-server auth configuration. The sample credentials are documented and for testing only.
How to use this file for testing
“htpasswd (HTTP Basic Auth)” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Certificate & key testing, Editor testing. Self-signed X.509 certificates (PEM, CRT, DER), a CSR, RSA and Ed25519 keys, an SSH public key, a PKCS#12 bundle, and an htpasswd file, all published sample-only material, for testing certificate parsers, TLS tooling, keystore importers, and PEM/DER decoders.
Documented properties for this file: Apache htpasswd. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
This is a published, sample-only certificate/key. Parse it, verify the chain or signature, and test PEM↔DER conversion, never deploy it anywhere real.
