# Create a http://wiki.freedesktop.org/ account
To avoid problems with spammers, wiki.freedesktop.org uses manually compiled htpasswd entries. If you want to be able to edit through the web, you should find a way to generate a hash and safely send it to the sitewranglers, preferably with a signature.
### Generation
* remote shell e.g. on annarchy:
* `umask 0077`
* `htpasswd -c -m ~/userdb.htpasswd DesiredUsername` # and input your password at the prompts
* 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
### Transmisison
* 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 ).
* If you use an existing shell account (even someone else's) with which to put the htpasswd entry on Annarchy's filesystem somewhere we can find it, simply notify `sitewranglers@freedesktop.org`. Shell accounts have pre-established PGP trust.
### Application
* With a root account on annarchy, append the user's htpasswd entry to the /etc/apache2/userdb.basic file
