Jquery - Compare user input with apache .htpasswd password

Vote count:

0

I have a simple page that is sitting behind a secure network. So lets forget all security concerns in this instance.

I have a form that the user can enter a password. The data from this input field is captured by jquery with $('#passwd').val()

I want to compare the users input value against the encrypted password held in an apache2 .htpasswd file.

Looking at various sites each time I check 'password' vs 'password' the results vary. So how do I compare them ?

Is this possible and if so how ?

Thanks
