Caddy plugin designed to work with http.login (loginsrv) plugin. Allow creation, update, deletion of users in .htpasswd file and user-file. Based on https://github.com/foomo/htpasswd for htpasswd management.

Add a directive in your Caddyfile : manageusers /[route to access API] [.htpasswd file name] [optional : users.json file]

Example : manageusers /manageusers .htpasswd users.json

GET http://[hostname:port]/manageusers  HTTP/1.1

POST http://[hostname:port]/manageusers HTTP/1.1
content-type: application/json

{
    "username": "user",
    "password": "pwd",
    "origin": "htpasswd",
    "role": "user",
    "name": "Us",
    "surname": "ER"
}

DELETE http://[hostname:port]/manageusers/[username] HTTP/1.1

The user-file is not dynamically reloaded when an user is added or deleted on windows systems, it is ok with linux systems. The loginsrv (http.login) plugin is supposed to work with a yaml file, but since json is valid yaml, it works flawlessly. The user management route must be protected by jwt to disable unwanted users creation (which is a major security flaw).
