Bug

With Automatic Account Creation and Windows Authentication are enabled, two enterprise accounts for the same user can be created in portal when an existing username is entered without the domain.

Additional Information

This is expected behavior. When using portal-tier authentication, Portal will consider the accounts “sAMAccountName@DOMAIN” and “sAMAccountName” to be unique accounts even though they point to the same enterprise user.

Workaround

Add the desired accounts through the Home app and disable automatic account creation. This would prevent the portal from creating duplicate accounts by accident.
