The htpasswd authentication provider fails on windows (crypt module is not supported on windows)

[weis]

We are not able to implement the htpasswd authentication on windows.
With the server configuration part

  "auth": {
    "type": "htpasswd",
     "htpasswd_path": "<PATH_TO>\\.htpasswd"
  }

we got after running launcher.py:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_crypt'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "launcher.py", line 11, in <module>
    main.main()
  File "src\main.py", line 81, in main
    server_config = server_conf.from_json(SERVER_CONF_PATH, TEMP_FOLDER)
  File "src\model\server_conf.py", line 104, in from_json
    config.authenticator = create_authenticator(auth_config, temp_folder)
  File "src\model\server_conf.py", line 159, in create_authenticator
    from auth.auth_htpasswd import HtpasswdAuthenticator
  File "src\auth\auth_htpasswd.py", line 1, in <module>
    import crypt
  File "C:\Users\demdevwin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\crypt.py", line 9, in <module>
    raise ImportError("The crypt module is not supported on Windows")
ImportError: The crypt module is not supported on Windows

What can we do ?

Hi @weis, I made a fix, which is available in dev version.
If you would like to stay on stable version, then I would suggest installing htpasswd utility on the machine, where script server is running (and restart the script server instance).

Hi, thank you for the very fast answer.
It's running!
One notice: i have to remove comments (lines beginning with a #) from the htpasswd file.
Otherwise an error occured:

File "src\auth\auth_htpasswd.py", line 124, in _parse_htpasswd
    (username, password) = line.split(':', 1)
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)
