Description

Expected Behavior

Either create a new setting in the config for a folder or if a period is used for domain, don't use the current hostname that mRemoteNG is running on as the value of the domain setting.

Current Behavior

AFAIK, current configuration doesn't allow for setting the domain of the connection to be the same as the name of the connection
Setting a period as the value of the domain setting will use the name of the current host that mRemoteNG is running on as the value and not the destination host.

Possible Solution

?

Context

Am on a host that's part of the domain but will occasionally need to RDP into hosts off the domain.

Research direction

Start by tracing how folder configuration and the connection domain setting are represented and how RDP connections resolve a period-valued domain. Confirm the intended behavior with the existing configuration model and authentication flow; done means a connection can use its own name as the domain without substituting the local hostname.
