Can you pass the user's name or UID to the backend in some way?
If yes, this command could probably be adapted (credits: http://www.unix.com/unix-for-dummies-questions-and-answers/248183-extract-user-accounts-home-directory-etc-passwd.html) -- and I think there's actually a libc function for that!

`while IFS=: read user shadow uid guid geco home sh; do if [[ $uid -eq 1000 ]]; then echo $user $home; fi; done < /etc/passwd`
