Migrating Existing .htaccess information to the File Authentication Database

To migrate your existing .htaccess information to the file authentication database in the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1:

• Copy your .htaccess userfile database to server-root/server-instance/config/userfile.

• Copy your htaccess groupfile database to server-root/server-instance/config/groupfile

The user file format is as follows:

#user:password

The group file format is as follows:

#group1:user1 user2
#group2:user3 user4

Member names are separated by spaces.

When userfile and groupfile have the same file name, they are combined. each line of the combination follows the syntax shown below:

#user:password:group1,group2

Columns are separated by colons.
