Is it possible for an AD user to log in to the Web client and / or Forms with their email address instead of their domain\username?
At the moment, I can only seem to be able to log in with domain\username.
Hi Jonathan,
The Username field on Web Client's login page interprets input as follows:
If you're using LFDS (which I recommend, if available), use the "Windows Authentication" option.
To enable automatic AD-login so users don't have to type in credentials at all:
Hi Jonathan,
I've not tried but I suspect this might be possible if you use ADFS with LFDS. Is that something you can test?
Active Directory Federation Services is an SSO provider that LFDS integrates with. I presume it supports email addresses to log on with because MS supports that kind of thing generally.
Some information on the MS forums for configuring alternate email addresses in AD FS.
Directory Server supports the username@domain.com (called the UPN) format in addition to the Domain\username format, regardless of whether you have AD FS enabled or not.
You can type it in:
If you click Windows Authentication but are prompted by the browser for Windows credentials (common in Chrome or Firefox), you can usually authenticate with either form.
Note that while it looks like an email, and Microsoft recommends that your email match your UPN, they may not be the same.
