  <title>Use enterprise credentials to log into GNOME</title>
  
  <p>If your network has an Active Directory or IPA domain available, and you
    have a domain account, you can use your domain credentials to log into GNOME.
  </p>
  <p>If the machine has been successfully configured for
    domain accounts, users can log into GNOME using their accounts. At the
    login prompt, type the domain user name followed
    by an <sys>@</sys> sign, and then your domain name. For example, if
    your domain name is <var>example.com</var> and the user name
    is <var>User</var>, type:</p>
  <screen><input>User@example.com</input></screen>
  <p>In cases where the machine is already configured for domain accounts, you
    should see a helpful hint describing the login format.</p>

    <title>Troubleshoot and advanced setup</title>
    <p>The <cmd>realm</cmd> command and its various subcommands can be used
      to troubleshoot the enterprise login feature. For example, to see whether
      the machine has been configured for enterprise logins, run the following
      command:</p>
    <screen><output>$ </output><input>realm list</input></screen>
    <p>Network administrators are encouraged to pre-join workstations to a
      relevant domain. This can be done using the kickstart <cmd>realm join</cmd>
      command, or running <cmd>realm join</cmd> in an automated fashion
      from a script.</p>
