What version are you running?
1.0beta2

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
admin/db/auth/user/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Setup to use Active Directory authentication
2. Set your domain to the AD domain
3. Allow users to log in.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The AD domain is being used to generate the users email address.  This is
not generally true ( eg. juser@s2.s1.company.com should have been
joe.user@company.com ).
Since there is only room to specify one domain when setting up AD, it is
not possible to specify a different email domain.  

This is probably an enhancement.  It would be more useful to allow setting
up of the email address generation separately from the authentication
service setup, and if a rule could be defined ( eg. my installation uses
first.last@company.com for email, but my previous employer used
username@company.com ).

What operating system are you using? What browser?
Windows XP with firefox,
Linux (RedHat EL4.7, Ubuntu 9.04 ) with firefox.

Please provide any additional information below.

At this point it is a nuisance since users are able to fix the email
address once logged in.

Assuming your AD server has the 'mail' field, this should be fixed in RC1. Please
give that a try.
