NAME

       rlm_realm - FreeRADIUS Module

DESCRIPTION

       The  rlm_realm module parses the User-Name attribute into a User section and a Realm section.  This is used primarily in a proxy situation,
       however, Realms can also be used locally to provide different service profiles based on the Realm being used.

       The main configuration items to be aware of are:

       format This can be either 'prefix' or 'suffix'.	It specifies whether the Realm is before or  after  the  User  portion	in  the  User-Name
	      string.

       delimiter
	      A single character in quotes, which is used as the delimiting character that separates the Realm and User sections of the string.

       ignore_default
	      This  is	set  to  either  'yes'	or 'no'.  If set to 'yes', this will prevent the module instance from matching a realm against the
	      DEFAULT entry.  This may be useful if you have multiple realm module instances.  The default is 'no'.

       ignore_null
	      This is set to either 'yes' or 'no'.  If set to 'yes', this will prevent the module instance from matching a realm against the  NULL
	      entry.  This may be useful if you have multiple realm module instances.  The default is 'no'.

       This  module  parses  the  realm from the User-Name attrbiute according to the instance configuration, and then performs a lookup to find a
       matching realm in the '/etc/raddb/proxy.conf' file.  Depending on the configuration of the Realm as matched in the file, the  username  may
       be  rewritten  in  a  'stripped'  format, or with the Realm portion removed.  In either case, a Realm attribute is created and added to the
       packet on a match, which can be used by other modules.
