Agreed. I didn't know if I could do some group checking with ntlm_auth, more accurately get a list of groups a user belongs to? If I used FQDN I could prolly parse out the info I need from the user name as well: gary.neteng.waddell.... Ill try LDAP - good learning experience!

Resist the temptation and extend the schema now instead of later.  When
you need the Fax Number, what will you do?

If you don't want to tackle LDAP, you could write a script to generate a
separate file of unlang if-then blocks and pull it into the FR conf file
with an $INCLUDE statement.

No.  NTLM_auth is an authentication tool that returns 0 or 1 depending on
the correctness of a password.  This is an authorization question - what
kind of access will the authenticated user be given?
