#2048 [RFE] Provide a regex mapping similar to pam_krb5's mechanism
Closed: wontfix 4 years ago by pbrezina. Opened 10 years ago by jhrozek.

pam_krb5 has the following functionality (from man pam_krb5):

mappings = regex1 regex2 [...]
specifies that pam_krb5 should derive the user's principal name from the Unix user name by first checking if the user name matches regex1, and formulating a principal name using regex2. For example, "mappings = EXAMPLE(.*) $1@EXAMPLE.COM" would map any user with a name of the form "EXAMPLE\whatever" to a principal name of "whatever@EXAMPLE.COM". This is primarily targeted at allowing pam_krb5 to be used to authenticate users whose user information is provided by winbindd(8). This will frequently require the reverse to be configured by setting up an auth_to_local rule elsewhere in krb5.conf(5).

For some reasons, the lack of similar feature is a reason to use the proxy provider.
