Configuring Dynamic Server Selection

The controller can dynamically select an authentication server from a server group based on the user information sent by the client in an authentication request. For example, an authentication request can include client or user information in one of the following formats:

<domain>\<user> — for example, corpnet.com\darwin

<user>@<domain> — for example, darwin@corpnet.com

host/<pc-name>.<domain> — for example, host/darwin-g.finance.corpnet.com (this format is used with 802.1x machine authentication in Windows environments)

When you configure a server in a server group, you can optionally associate the server with one or more match rules. A match rule for a server can be one of the following:

The server is selected if the client/user information contains a specified string.

The server is selected if the client/user information beginswith a specified string.

The server is selected if the client/user information exactly matches a specified string.

You can configure multiple match rules for the same server. The controller compares the client/user information with the match rules configured for each server, starting with the first server in the server group. If a match is found, the controller sends the authentication request to the server with the matching rule. If no match is found before the end of the server list is reached, an error is returned and no authentication request for the client/user is sent.
