You need the domain prefix for a wide variety of security reasons. And
for the same security reasons, one cannot "prefix" or otherwise modify
the user principal prior to credential validation -- so you have to
give both domain and username in some form. Unfortunately, most
clients' eyes glaze over by the time one goes through the reasons. ;-)
Now, you can enable UPN and those non-techie clients can enter
username@domain.com instead of remembering a "domain prefix". I think
it is a reasonable solution since most websites seem to use either
username or username@domain.com and people seem ok with remembering
it.
