Configuration Files > auth.config
The auth.config file stores rules that direct specified IP addresses and IP address ranges, and/or traffic on specified inbound ports (explicit proxy only), and/or matching Request header User-Agent values to distinct domain controllers. This feature is called Multiple realm authentication. Authentication realm rules are defined on the Configure > Security > Access Control > Authentication Realms tab.
Note 
However, the option is also supported in single domain deployments that want to create multiple authentication rules based on IP addresses, inbound proxy port (explicit proxy), and/or User-Agent values.
Each line in auth.config contains an authentication rule that consists of a set of tags, each followed by its value. Authentication rules have the format:
*
0 = disabled
*
1 = enabled
*
0 = send actual authenticated user name (default).
*
1 = send a blank username
*
2 = send the string specified in auth_name_string
*
0 = disabled
*
1 = enabled
Note: When multiple domain controllers are specified, even if load balancing is disabled, when the load on the primary domain controller reaches the maximum number of connections allowed, new requests are sent to a secondary domain controller as a short-term failover provision, until such time that the primary domain controller can accept new connections.
Specifies the type of service, if different from that configured on the LDAP tab. Enter sAMAccountName for Active Directory, or uid for any other service.
