If you want to authenticate against a htpasswd file use something like https://github.com/abbot/go-http-auth .

• apr1 (do not use except for legacy support situations)
• sha (do not use except for legacy support situations)
• bcrypt

Set user credentials in a htpasswd file:

file := "/tmp/demo.htpasswd"
name := "joe"
password := "secret"
err := htpasswd.SetPassword(file, name, password, htpasswd.HashBCrypt)

Remove a user:

err := htpasswd.RemoveUser(file, name)

Read user hash table:

passwords, err := htpasswd.ParseHtpasswdFile(file)

Have fun.
