@Satheesh So, I just checked my 1.4.0 test server and had the same thing. My only thought is that maybe they don’t want you putting DOMAIN\ into that field. There is the FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME above it. Probably goes there.

So…
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_DOMAINNAME = DOMAIN
FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER = USER

edit: Just checked my live server and I do not have the domain name in the user field. For domainname field I have domain.com

The correct method is to do the non-domain setting though FOG does support this capability.

The problem is how php deals with escape characters, however. The \ is the default escape character in PHP. Because of this, to display a single \ you must actually display \\. This is great for non-input fields, but in text fields it shows the raw data. Unfortunately there’s not a pretty way to handle this :(.

So I found the thing adding the slashes erroneously. It should be fixed in the working branch if you’d like to install it to give it a shot.

@Avaryan : Yes I have tried by removing domain in FOG_AD_DEFAULT_USER it’s worked. Tom Elliott will find the solution for this.

@Satheesh Not will, already did
