Globs

Name “globbing” is a way of using a wildcard pattern to expand a single element into a list of elements that match the pattern. MSS accepts user globs, MAC address globs, and VLAN globs. The order in which globs appear in the configuration is important, because once a glob is matched, processing stops on the list of globs

User Globs

A user glob is shorthand method for matching an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) command to either a single user or a set of users.

A user glob can be up to 80 characters long and cannot contain spaces or tabs. The double-asterisk (**) wildcard characters with no delimiter characters match all usernames. The single-asterisk (*) wildcard character matches any number of characters up to, but not including, a delimiter character in the glob. Valid user glob delimiter characters are the at (@) sign and the period (.).

For example, the following globs identify the following users:

User Glob

User(s) Designated

jose@example.com

User jose at example.com

 

All users at example.com whose usernames do not contain

*@example.com

periods—for example, jose@example.com and tamara@example.

com, but not nin.wong@example.com, because nin.wong contains

 

 

a period.

*@marketing.example.com

All marketing users at example.com whose usernames do not

contain periods.

 

* .*@marketing.example.com

All marketing users at example.com whose usernames contain a

period.

 

*

All users with usernames that have no delimiters.

EXAMPLE\*

All users in the Windows Domain EXAMPLE with usernames that

have no delimiters.

 

EXAMPLE\*.*

All users in the Windows Domain EXAMPLE whose usernames

contain a period.
