This parameter allows you to use flat files with different
formats to the standard Unix password format. Match is a regular
expression that is expected to match and extract the user name, password
and (optional) primary group ID fields from each line in the password
file. The default extracts the first two colon separated fields as user
name and password, followed by a UID, followed by an (optional) primary
group ID (i.e. standard Unix password file format).
# fields are separated by vertical bar |
Match ^([^\|]*)\|([^\|]*)
Tip
The default Match
expression is:
Match ^([^:]*):([^:]*):?[^:]*:?([^:]*)
