# Mapping Usernames to a Group

# Introduction

Configure license-user-mapping to map user to a group.

# Configuring license-user-mapping

  1. Open license-user-mapping file in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify usernames with the following syntax:

    MAP: UserGroupName
    Username1
    Username2

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported. You can use several globbing patterns, but keep in mind that they are slower than exact matches.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive. This means that variations in capitalization, such as 'User' and 'user', will be recognized as identical. Also, both leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Each user can be a member of only one group. A user that appears in multiple mappings will always be mapped to its first occurrence in the file.

    Example
    MAP: UserGroup1    
    User07
    User29

    This example maps User07 and User29 to UserGroup1.

  3. Save the changes.

  1. Open license-user-mapping file in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify usernames with the following syntax:

    MAP: UserGroupName
    Username1
    Username2

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported. You can use several globbing patterns, but keep in mind that they are slower than exact matches.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive. This means that variations in capitalization, such as 'User' and 'user', will be recognized as identical. Also, both leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: UserGroup1    
    User07
    User29

    This example maps User07 and User29 to UserGroup1.
