Configuring Match FQDN Option
You can also use the “match FQDN” option for a server match rule. With a match FQDN rule, the server is
selected if the <domain> portion of the user information in the formats <domain>\<user> or
<user>@<domain> exactly matches a specified string. Note the following caveats when using a match FQDN
rule:
z This rule does not support client information in the host/<pc-name>.<domain> format, so it is not useful
for 802.1x machine authentication.
z The match FQDN option performs matches on only the <domain> portion of the user information sent in
an authentication request. The match-authstring option (described previously) allows you to match all or a
portion of the user information sent in an authentication request.

Trimming Domain Information from Requests
Before the controller forwards an authentication request to a specified server, it can truncate the domain-specific
portion of the user information. This is useful when user entries on the authenticating server do not include
domain information. You can specify this option with any server match rule. This option is only applicable when
the user information is sent to the controller in the following formats:
z <domain>\<user> — the <domain>\ portion is truncated
z <user>@<domain> — the @<domain> portion is truncated
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Security > Authentication > Servers page.
2. Select Server Group to display the Server Group list.
3. Enter the name of the new server group and click Add.
4. Select the name to configure the server group.
Note: This option does not support client information sent in the format host/<pc-name>.<domain>
