Indicates how the Windows NT Authentication provider should map UPN-style names for authentication (meaning will username@domain be used).
- First--names which match the UPN format should be treated as a UPN name first. If the name isn't a UPN name, the name will be treated as an unscoped name.
- Last--names which match the UPN format should be treated as a UPN name only if the name failed to be matched as an unscoped name.
- Always--names which match the UPN format will always be treated as a UPN name.
This setting should only be used when there are no usernames with @. domain\\username is not ambiguous and is always allowed.
