Hello Aki,

Thank you, that works.  But it doesn't solve my main problem.  Newer
versions of Outlook started to parse the "@domain" out of the
"user at domain" which yielded only "user".  I found that by prepending a '\'
(backslash) it would yield "user at domain" correctly.  But with GSSAPI, the
backslash fails and removing it allows for correct authentication of the
whole user name including "@domain".  The problem now is having to
configure all the many clients in the field that have the backslash
prepended to the user name.  Is here a way around this with version 2.3?

Regards,
David Koski
