Sorry  I wasn't clear. I want to be able to authenticate using the UPN
(user principal name) which has the format username at tld
currently I am able to login in with domain\username (aka the netbios login
name) which uses the Windows SamID field for the username portion of the
address.

Here's a very brief description of the difference

As I may not be making myself clear.
