Rainer, Eric, Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes a new rewritemap seems to be the solution. type name : usr functions : uid, gid parameter : name or #uid For example : RewriteMap getuid usr:uid RewriteMap getgid usr:gid C functions getpwnam and getpwuid would do the job. Is a pull request here the right method to proceed ? https://github.com/apache/httpd/blob/trunk/modules/mappers/mod_rewrite.c Thank you very much, Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
