log in with ldap credentials

[michabbs]

I added LDAP (actually Samba AD) server to PMG. It works. I can see list of users with their email addresses. The users can log in to pmg gui.

Problem: In order to log in user MUST put their email address to the "User Name" field (and password to "Password" field). It is confusing, because the logon prompt clearly says "User name:", not "E-Mail:" or at least "User name/E-mail:".

Is it even possible to log in using normal "short" ldap credentials? (Just username, without the domain part.) How?

no thats not possible (the backend has no way of knowing into which "realm" the user wants to login (there could be multiple))

So I suggest to change GUI prompt to "User name/E-mail:" - to make it less confusing.
