Example
NameTrans fn=strip-params
unix-home
Applicable in
NameTrans
-class directives.
UNIX Only. The
unix-home
function translates user names (typically of the form
~username) into the user’s home directory on the server’s UNIX machine. You
specify a URL prefix that signals user directories. Any request that begins with the
prefix is translated to the user’s home directory.
You specify the list of users with either the
/etc/passwd
file or a file with a similar
structure. Each line in the file should have this structure (elements in the
passwd
file that are not needed are indicated with *):
username:*:*:groupid:*:homedir:*
If you want the server to scan the password file only once at startup, use the
Init-class function
init-uhome
in
magnus.conf
.
