For added flexibility, regular expressions can be used in realm names, enabling a single realm
name to match many users. For example, if a realm name is defined with the regular
expression ^abc.* then all usernames beginning with abc followed by any number of
characters will match. The following usernames would all match:
abc123.biz
abc321.lan
abc1
Important
Realms are not case sensitive.
Realms have a maximum length of 64 characters.
A maximum of 200 realms can be defined across all profiles. However, there is no limit
per profile.
Each RADIUS profile can be associated with one or more realms. However, a realm
cannot be associated with more than one profile.
A realm overrides the authentication RADIUS server only; the server used for accounting
is not affected.

When the realm configuration is changed in any way, all authenticated users are logged
out.
HTML-based user logins
This option defines settings for users who log in to the public access interface using a Web
browser. If you disable this option, the public access interface Login page is not shown to
these users. However, login is still possible via other methods such as MAC authentication
and 802.1X.
For configuration details, see Configuring HTML-based authentication on a VSC on
page 10-22.
