Users
User data files are stored within the directory _lw_system/users.
This designated location consolidates all user-related information, facilitating efficient data management and access.
File naming convention
The naming convention for user files is structured as <USERNAME>---<REALM>.
This format is carefully chosen to ensure uniqueness and organization within the system.
It allows for easy identification and retrieval of user-specific data by linking the username directly to their associated security realm.
Components
-
Username: This is a unique identifier for each user. It is a string that distinguishes one user from another within the system.
-
Realm: The realm refers to the security domain within which the user operates. It is a critical component of the system’s security model, segregating users based on their access permissions and operational scope.
