In case your system uses /etc/passwd, this will get you both values separated by a colon:

grep username /etc/passwd|cut -f3,4 -d:

Betreff:  Get UID/GID from a username string [wd-vc]

Hello,

I already do it with a RewriteMap Perl script, but perhaps a faster (in terms of performance) solution exists.
Let's assume an incoming request contains a username, is there a way to get the system UID of this username string (Linux/FreeBSD) ?
And from a UID string, to get the corresponding GID ?

Thank you very much,

Ben
