Description The supplicants are generally named in userid@isp-name format. The part following
the @ sign is the ISP domain name, according to which the router assigns a user to
the corresponding ISP domain. However, some earlier TACACS servers reject the user
name including ISP domain name. In this case, the user name is sent to the TACACS
server after its domain name is removed. Accordingly, the router provides this
command to decide whether the username is sent to the TACACS server, carrying ISP
domain name or not.
If a HWTACACS scheme is configured to reject usernames including ISP domain
names, the TACACS scheme shall not be simultaneously used in more than one ISP
domains. Otherwise, the TACACS server will regard two users in different ISP domains
as the same user by mistake, if they have the same username (excluding their
respective domain names.)
