Sorry, I was mistaken on the name value format I gave for 9.x. That was added in ~10.0 or 10.1.

If you have a data group defined as this:


class test_penaltybox {
   "testuser1 command1"
   "testuser1 command2"
   "testuser2 commnad1"
}

To look up a single string (like the UID) in the data group and get the second field you could use findclass:

log local0. [findclass testuser1 test_penaltybox " "]

Note that the data group name is test_penaltybox and should be referenced without the $:: prefix in 9.4.4+.

Or if you want to check if a uid and command combination exist, you could try this:


    if {[matchclass "[URI::query ?&[HTTP::query] &uid] [URI::query ?&[HTTP::query] &command]" equals test_penaltybox]}{
        log local0. "matched"
    } else {
        log local0. "no match"
    }

Note the workaround used for a URI::query bug which was fixed in v11:
