I'm trying to rewrite a username such that a predefined portion of text
is added before authentication takes place. The text will most likely be
one word preceded by a hyphen "-delanet" for instance.
Main reason is that due to a large number of acquisitions of other ISP
and hosting companies, we now have 5 mike's, 7 jane's, 4 john's etc.
etc. I'm not about to tell several thousand customers to change login
names in the 'aol' style with numbers on the end. I use one central
database (Platypus) for user data. Each acquisition gets imported with
"-domain" appended on the user logins to prevent dupes. I planned to
authenticate the initial login name first. On failure, fall through to
another authby which will rewrite the user name and append whatever text
on the end I specify and try to authenticate again, etc. etc.
My only problem now is getting the rewrite correct I believe. If anyone
can give an example I'd greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
