Enabling 'Other' Login

I have installed Zorin OS 9 Educational edition and have joined it to my domain using Likewise-Open.
This appears to have worked, however on the login screen I am unable to type in domain\username as the only options I have are the users created within Zorin itself. Is there a config somewhere I can enable the 'Other' login?

I actually found this out myself for anyone else who comes across this.
Open Terminal and type the following:
sudo nano /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-zorin-greeter.conf

Then add in at the bottom line:
greeter-show-manual-login=true

Save and reboot, you will now have a login option which will ask for username and password

I know it might have been difficult to find on here but Wolfman posted similar advice elsewhere on here. See also:
