header('location:http://PUT/YOUR/LANDING/PAGE/URL/HERE');

with the URL of the landing page for your notebook.

Directories contained in the root directory where this notebook is installed will appear in the header of the landing page, allowing for users to easily navigate across files and directories from within their browser.

$auth_username = $_SERVER["REMOTE_USER"];
