However, under multi-domain authentication, the > username may already include the domain (ex: u...@domain.foo.com). We should > not append a domain if one is already present. > Also, if username already includes the domain, rest of Hive and authorization > providers still expects the "short name" ("user" and not > "u...@domain.foo.com") for looking up privilege rules, etc. As such, any > domain info in the username should be stripped off. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
