Basic authentication problem

Hello,

Apache 2.2.4 on Windows & Linux with OpenSSL 0.9.8e.
Basic authentication does not accept my password.

Ex: user 'frank' and password 'sinatra'.
Depending on my password file, I get the following errors:
- frank:mlVo7KaArYZhg (from htpasswd)
-> dialog box -> frank/sinatra
-> user frank: authentication failure: Password Mismatch
- frank:$apr1$9U1.....$C.5OJhZ4UxxM9SIzv4XAY0
-> no dialog box
-> configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?
- frank:{SHA}7DUut/wAuxmp4mKiKKNr9eEUeG0=
-> no dialog box
-> configuration error: couldn't check access. No groups file?
So, MD5 & SHA-1 are not used, CRYPT well.

<Location "/">
Authname "MyApp"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile conf/users.auth
Require valid-user
</Location>

PS: Under Windows, 'htpasswd.exe -nbd', responds 'Automatically using
MD5
format' !?!

Both default and inability to crypt on windows are documented
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html

If you need cross-platform passwords use -m ... or -p
