(RADIATOR) RewriteUsername question

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello James -

You can use multiple RewriteUsername's, so you can strip off the 
prefixes like this:

	# remove prefix "ABC."
	RewriteUsername s/^ABC.//

	# remove prefix "DEF."
	RewriteUsername s/DEF.//

	.....

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
