Why "DOMAIN\Username" instead of just "Username" in the AD login?? 

I know I've asked this before, and I've even opened a ticket in the DotNetNuke bugtracker, but can we please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please
have an option to NOT force our users to have to use the "DOMAIN\Username" format for AD Login, but rather just user their "Username" only???

I know that some enterprise environments have several AD domains, but for the vast majority of us who only have ONE AD domain, it would make it really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really nice if our users only had to type in their "Username" in the login box.

Couldn't it just be another configuration in the AD Auth provider configuration page that says something like:  "Default Domain:" __________, and we could just type in the Domain, and the login provider could just append that during the authentication process in the ActiveDirectory Authentication provider?  Bascially, right now I have to "hack" the login page and put some javascript to fire just before submitting to append the "DOMAIN\" prefix if the user didn't type it.  All of our users just simply know their Username and could really care less about what the domain prefix is...

:)

Thank you.

Not enough pleases or reallys in there Will so I won't do it.

Seriously though It's something that I'm looking making an option. I've got a couple of other bugs/enhancements that I'm working on currently so I don't know if it'll make the next release or it it'll have to wait until the one after.

Mike,

You mentioned somewhere here, sometime ago (I can't find it now) that you are using some kind of a  script for that (logging to AD without entering domain name) - could you share some details ?

I modified my DNN 4.5.5 code to strip out doman name accordingly to this post, but now I need update to 4.6/4.7. It is quite urgent and only thing that holds me back is this 'domain'  thing...

hehehehe, how about "pretty please"...

Seriously though, if you need any help on this, I'm willing to offer my skills.  I've done some work in Active Directory within VB.NET.

Thanks!
