Multi-domain login names. similar to Redhat SSSD, for Active Directory forest support. Example: Two users called "Puss Boots" in two different organisations of the same company. Currently Cygwin cannot support that because both would have the login name "puss.boots", but Active Directory and SSSD support it via adding the domain to the user name. So Mr. Puss Boots in org abc.egg.com and Mr. Puss Boots in xyz.egg.com get the login names "puss.bo...@abc.egg.com" and "puss.bo...@xyz.egg.com" Sort of domain names for login names.
