5.11. Desktop Ubuntu Authentication
It is possible to also authenticate logins to Ubuntu Desktop using Active Directory accounts. The AD accounts will not show up in the pick list with local users, so lightdm will need to be modified. Edit the file /etc/ lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-unity-greeter.conf and append the following two lines:
greeter-show-manual-login=true greeter-hide-users=true
Reboot to restart lightdm. It should now be possible to log in using a domain account using either username or
username/username@domain format.
