In the hints file I want to look for one of two domains to pick which ldap server to auth to. Users are used to the DOMAIN\user syntax, so I put in hint prefix checks for DOMAIN1\ and DOMAIN2\. What I found was that trying to match on the back slash doesn’t work, despite trying several checks with escaping. A prefix check using a forward slash or a postfix check using @ (user@realm) works fine. Here is the configuration of hints and users along with the output (1.0.2 radiusd –X) of a login with TESTLAB\tester, which fails to set Auth-Type, followed by a user TESTLAB/test which matches and sets the Auth-Type successfully.

hints file…

DEFAULT Prefix == "TESTLAB\", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP2"

DEFAULT Prefix == "TESTLAB\\", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP2"

DEFAULT Prefix == "TESTLAB\\\\", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP2"

DEFAULT Prefix == "TESTLAB/", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP2"

DEFAULT Suffix == "@TESTLAB", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint == "LDAP2"

DEFAULT Prefix == "CORP\", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP1"

DEFAULT Prefix == "CORP\\", Strip-User-Name = Yes

Hint = "LDAP1"

Users file…

DEFAULT Hint == "LDAP1", Auth-Type := LDAP1, Autz-Type := LDAP1

DEFAULT Hint == "LDAP2", Auth-Type := LDAP2, Autz-Type := LDAP2
