DropPrivilegesExt

Config extension to drop privileges files.

User and group must be specified in the configfile under the PERMISSION section. If root starts the program, it will drop privileges after reading the config. If it is started with the configured user, nothing happens. If it is started as a different user, it will exit with an error.

Config example:

[PERMISSIONS]
user = john
group = john

class DropPrivilegesExt : IConfigExtExtension {

class Config;

int order();

void processConfig(IApplication app, ConfigParser config);

void preParseConfig(IApplication app, ConfigParser config);

istring[] filterConfigFiles(IApplication app, ConfigParser config, istring[] files);

}
