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.

Have you tried it? – random♦ Aug 3 '09 at 14:07
Yes, I have.... – squillman Aug 4 '09 at 1:40
So that means it doesn't work then? Or does it? – random♦ Aug 8 '09 at 4:16
Sorry, thought that would be clear since I'm asking. No, my efforts didn't work. I was looking around to find out if FF just simply does not support it or if maybe my wildcard syntax was just wrong. – squillman Aug 8 '09 at 13:29
I was interested in this because I wanted to support any port on localhost. As it turns out, just http://localhost works fine. – Matthew Flaschen Jul 19 '11 at 22:23

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. – David Roussel May 5 '10 at 8:53
I think you'll want to use ".mycompany.com", leaving that leading dot out would match "notmycompany.com". – davenpcj Oct 29 '10 at 20:23
@David @davenpcj I wish I could use example.*, i.e. example.com, example.net, etc – abatishchev Jan 24 '11 at 9:05

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.
