There is no built-in module that provides user registration - that is
something you would need to implement yourself.

Who writes to dbm password files? I mean how are new users registered?

If apache authenticates using `mod_auth_basic` or `mod_auth_digest` then
someone must put the users with their credentials there.

I setup users over SSH with Python:

subprocess.run(['ssh', 'me@server.tld', 'htdbm -bt /usr/local/apache2/var/users.dbm', email, pword,
'{},'.format(alias)])

Works really well. You will need to make yourself the owner of the dbm
file and www-data as the group.

Wow! great solution. So we have to use htdbm. Is this the standard way of
doing it or are there other alternatives?
