Bug Description

One cannot login from the GUI on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 (and probably others) when Ubuntu is connected to Active Directory before one has logged in from TTY or SSH.

Reproduce:

1. Install Ubuntu.
2. Run 'echo "greeter-show-manual-login=true" >> /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf && echo "" >> /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-ubuntu.conf' to enable manual login from the GUI.
3. Connect computer to Active Directory (maybe the same bug exists if you connect to LDAP instead).
4. Try logging in from the GUI with some user account from AD - it does not work.

Workaround:

1. Login with the same account from TTY or SSH.
2. Back in the GUI, the account can be selected and login works.
