(RADIATOR) rewriting username and realm seperately

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Martin -

You have access to a variety of different forms of the username according to 
the special characters supported by Radiator. Have a look at section 6.2 in 
the Radiator 3.1 reference manual ("doc/ref.html").

However in this particular case it might be easier to write a PreClientHook 
that would add a couple of pseudo-attributes to the incoming request packet 
that you could then use directly in the AuthBy LDAP2 clause.

There are some example hooks in the file "goodies/hooks.txt" in the Radiator 
distribution.

regards

Hugh
