(RADIATOR) Priority of DEFAULT in AuthBy File

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Richard -

I think you will have to use cascaded AuthBy clauses to do what you 
describe.

Something like this:

# define AuthBy clauses

<AuthBy FILE>
	Identifier CheckDefaults
	Filename %D/defaults
	.....
</AuthBy>

<AuthBy FILE>
	Identifier CheckUsers
	Filename %D/users
	....
</AuthBy>

....

# define Realm(s) or Handler(s)

<Realm ....>
	AuthBy CheckDefaults
	.....
</Realm>

.....

The files would look like this:

# file %D/defaults

DEFAULT .......

DEFAULT ......

DEFAULT Auth-Type = CheckUsers

......

# file %D/users

someuser  Password = .....
	......

anotheruser  Password = ......
	......

etc.....


The first AuthBy file checks your DEFAULT definitions, the last one of 
which then calls another AuthBy clause to check the users.

Hope that helps.

regards

Hugh
