13.3.18 Prefix

ATTRIBUTE Prefix 1003 string

The Prefix attribute indicates the prefix that the user name should contain in order for a particular record in the profile to be matched. This attribute should be specified in the LHS of the ‘users’ or ‘hints’ file.

For example, if the ‘users’ file contained

DEFAULT Prefix = "U", Auth-Type = System
                Service-Type = Login-User

then the user names ‘Ugray’ and ‘Uyoda’ would match this record, whereas ‘gray’ and ‘yoda’ would not.

Both Prefix and Suffix attributes may be specified in a profile. In this case the record is matched only if the user name contains both the prefix and the suffix specified.

See section Suffix, and Strip-User-Name.
