# wiki.freedesktop.org: 401 Unauthorized
wiki.freedesktop.org has two authentication methods; one is through [[ssh access to fd.o shell accounts|http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/]] (e.g. <git+ssh://wiki.freedesktop.org/srv/ikiwiki/git/sitewranglers.git> ), the other is over HTTPS (e.g. <https://secure.freedesktop.org/write/sitewranglers/ikiwiki.cgi?page=wiki%2F401&do=edit> ).
To avoid problems with spammers, the htpasswd entries associated with HTTPS authentication involve manual administration.
If you have a freedesktop.org shell account, you can add or update any htpasswd entry: `ssh wiki.freedesktop.org sudo wikipasswd INSERT_DESIRED_USERNAME_HERE`. Use your powers wisely; everything is logged under version control.
If you don't have a shell account, you should find a way to generate a hash and safely send it to the sitewranglers, preferably with a signature.
### Generation
* local shell:
* `htpasswd -c -m /dev/stdout DesiredUsername` # and input your password at the prompts
* browser:
* <https://secure.freedesktop.org/static/htpasswd.html>
(Note if you customize the hash mechanism: we are currently using Apache 2.2 and thus do not yet support bcrypt hashes.)
### Signing
* `gpg --clearsign`
* enter GPG passphrase
* paste htpasswd entry
* EOF with ctrl-d
### Transmission
* If you do not have an existing shell account, send your signed hash to sitewranglers on IRC ( irc://irc.freenode.net/ usernames jrayhawk or Mithrandir ) or by email ( jrayhawk@freedesktop.org, tfheen@freedesktop.org ).
### Sitewranglers
* With a root account on annarchy, append or replace the user's htpasswd entry in /etc/apache2/userdb.basic
