I want to save a profile in PuTTY and include my username. Usually I would enter host name as user@host. But in this case I have to also include a domain with my username, user@domain.local for instance. How can I include the username, domain and host in PuTTY? Or, shall I put the user and domain information elsewhere.
The goal is to avoid login prompts (using private key authentication).

I'm not sure what the problem is. You can just enter
user@domain.localand save it as you normally would, it should work. – Louis Matthijssen – 2014-07-10T15:03:13.767Are you suggesting I enter the "host name" as
user@domain.local@host? – Josh M. – 2014-07-10T15:04:44.530Why are you using the
@sign twice? Is that a typo or? If it's a typo, yes, you should just enteruser@domain.localas hostname, click default settings and then click save. – Louis Matthijssen – 2014-07-10T15:07:23.750Because I am logging on to
hostusing usernameuserand the domaindomain.local. I can't use a straight username, have to include the logon domain as well. That's the essence of my question. – Josh M. – 2014-07-10T15:17:35.577I'm not sure what you mean by this. As far as I know you can only use the
user@host:portsyntax, where host can be a domain name or an IP address. Does this syntax work for you without saving? If so, just enter it as you normally would and hit save. Putty will save anything you've entered into the program and won't check anything. Edit or is your usernameuser@domain.localand your hosthost? – Louis Matthijssen – 2014-07-10T15:21:23.460Correct, the username is username and domain,
user@domain.local. That's the foundation of my quandary. – Josh M. – 2014-07-10T16:11:45.433
