how do I login as a windows domain user?
Hey, I'm on mint 19 tara brand new install. I've added it to my Windows AD domain and from a terminal window I can login as a domain user and modified pam so it creates the home dir. But I can't do this on my cinnamon desktop UI. It only allows me to login as the user I created during the install. I saw an old post about linking mdm to gdm I think, but that doesn't seem to help either. I get a switch user, but won't let me just type a name in to login as. I'm pretty new to mint yet - I usually use centos and no desktop, but i have a fair number of users that would like to try mint, but I want them to login with their domain id with no pre-setup by myself other than an ansible job that joins the domain so they can authenticate using their AD creds. Thanks for any pointers anyone can offer.

Re: how do I login as a windows domain user?
ah found it in the desktop anyway, Login Window -> allow manual login. Any idea how to change that from the terminal so I can do this using a configuration tool? Searching but may take a while to find the setting I need ...
