How can I change the username that is used to connect to a SharePoint site in Microsoft Document Connection. When I try to connect to a site, it's showing the authentication screen, but only allows me to enter the password. The username is defaulted to my Mac login user, but I can't change it (it's greyed out). Connecting using these credentials does not work, it always displays "You do not have permission to connect".

For a successful connection, I think I have to prefix my username with the name of our Windows domain, e.g. DOMAIN\username. Unfortunately, Microsoft Document Connection does not allow me to do that.

Any ideas on how I can change the username?

Strangely enough, this issue fixed itself after a while. One reason might have been that I had to recreate the login keychain at one point, having to enter all passwords again when I accessed the network share for the first time again. After that, it has been working without issues.
