NAME

groups- Defines the groups in an HTPASSWD realm

SYNOPSIS

site_path/conf/realms/HTPASSWD_realm/groups

DESCRIPTION

The groups file defines the groups in an HTPASSWD realm.

You may create new groups in the realm by htrealm(1m) or by the GUI.

All members of a group must be valid users defined in users(4).

Syntax

The following syntax rules apply to the groups file:

• The pound sign (#) is a comment character. All characters from a # to the end of a line are ignored

• White space is ignored in directive definitions.

• This directive accepts a list of values. Separate multiple users by white space. If more than one line is required to list all values, escape all but the last new line with a backslash (\) at the end of the line.

• Directives are grouped in blocks surrounded by curly braces ({ and }). Any amount of white space, newlines, or directive definitions may appear between an opening curly brace and its matching close, including directive blocks which also use matched curly braces to contain a definition.

Each group definition lists the member's user name separated by white space in the following form:

groupname {
	username1
	username2
}
