Comment (by muks):

 Replying to [comment:2 muks]:
 > We'd have to store `~/.bind10/default_user.csv` in cleartext, or
 something that can be converted back to clear text on the client-side to
 answer the server for HTTP digest authentication.

 To clarify, I do not suggest using the `.htdigest` format for this.
 `.htdigest` would be unsuitable for it as there's no way to get at the
 clear-text password. The `.htdigest` suggestion was for the server-side
 `cmdctl-accounts.csv` file.
