User ID Definition. A user ID (UID) is a unique positive integer assigned by a Unix-like operating system to each user. Each user is identified to the system by its UID, and user names are generally used only as an interface for humans. The third field contains the UID, and the fourth field contains the group ID (GID), which by default is equal to the UID for all ordinary users.
User Credentials File (Users.xml) This application example expects to find an XML file named Users.xml located in the FormsAuth directory. Users.xml is the file that contains the user names and passwords for the users that are authorized to access the Default.aspx file (also located in the FormsAuth directory). Logon.aspx reads the name and password information from this file, and the AddUser process writes name and password information to the file. This example is provided for illustration only. Storing user names and passwords in a text file is very insecure and could result in passwords being read over the Internet.
