NTLM authentication doesn't set the domain properly for a "domain\username" username

Received via email:

Via our testing of QAuthenticator class, it seems that if we invoke QAuthenticator->setUser() with a username that is in the format "domain\username", it does not work. If instead we invoke it with just the "username", it works. Now I tried to test this for BASIC/ NTLMv1 auth schemes. So the weird thing is that only NTLM(v1) has this problem. BASIC works just fine with "domain\username".
