For clarity: There is no "looking for users first at"... capability at all. The user is searched via the functions LookupAccountSid and LookupAccountName and they decide by themselves in what order to look. > Environment variable to specify/override default domain on the fly. You mean, for deciding which domain goes unprepended? That would be in the nsswitch.conf file, but it would be possible to implement that. But does it make sense? Yet another configuration variable? > Or even simpler, just an environment variable establishing the list of > domains to lookup. And the order of lookup. Not possible.
