Following this question about Windows Domain Authentication with Firefox, does FF support using wildcards in the URI's? I'm not finding anything where it mentions support either way.

Just to expand on redbeard0x0a's answer, it seems that it's matching based on the end of the string, not a sub string. So, if you have a company domain like "mycompany.com" with servers like svn.mycompany.com, sharepoint.mycompany.com, mail.mycompany.com, you could modify the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
within about:config to:
svn.mycompany.com,sharepoint.mycompany.com,mail.mycompany.com
or just include them all and any other internal servers by doing:
mycompany.com
-
Note that you need at least on dot for it to be a wildcard. So if you can host1.hr.europe.company1. Then company1 will not work, you need to put europe.company1. I guess if there is no dot firefox assumes it's a hostname not a domain name. May 5, 2010 at 8:53

5I think you'll want to use ".mycompany.com", leaving that leading dot out would match "notmycompany.com".– davenpcjOct 29, 2010 at 20:23

@David @davenpcj I wish I could use example.*, i.e. example.com, example.net, etc Jan 24, 2011 at 9:05

Just to add to this, I found that
mycompany.com
had to be at the end of the list if I had any more specific entries. For examplehttp://localhost,.mycompany.com
worked, but.mycompany.com,http://localhost
did not work. Mine is now working fine, but I hope this helps someone.– m-smithJun 13, 2016 at 16:06
I don't know if I understand the question correctly, but I'm thinking you are trying to use a wildcard in the network.authentication-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris inside firefox's config.
I think everything is matched on a sub-string (internally it seems to work like *example.local*
, so having the domain example.local
you would put example.local
in the configuration, for example: localhost,fileserver,example.local
.
If you end up having a url of http://server1.example.local/
, it should trigger the example.local
entry for trusted-uris and seamlessly send over NTLM authentication.
http://localhost
works fine.
