2.3.31 AuthGroupFile
AuthGroupFile specifies the name of the file that stores the list of groups to be authenticated when user authentication is performed by groups.
Description
AuthGroupFile specifies the name of file that stores the list of groups to be authenticated when user authentication is performed by groups. For file_name, specify an absolute path, or a relative path from the value specified in the ServerRoot directive.
Create a group file by using a text editor in the following format:
group_name:user_name[ user_name ...]
For any group_name, define the user name that is registered in the password file for user authentication. Specify one group per line. More than one group can be defined in a group file. If multiple lines of the same group name are specified, a single group containing all user names that are registered in the same group name is defined.
