TMG User uses email address as username. How do you convert the @ symbol to an underscore (or similar) to use with Active Directory

Hi All,
I need to find a solution where, joeblow@gmail.com registers as an external client to use the portal, When he is registered, in AD Joe will have the username jowblow_gmail.com
when he access’s the portal, it will be forced through to TMG, In the TMG logon, joe will enter joeblow@gmail.com & password. When he presses submit, the form will turn jowblow@gmail.com to joeblow_gmail.com and authenticate to AD.
Would anyone please have an idea on how to do this? My developers are struggling to find a way?
Many Thanks,
Troy

You can add custom UPNs to your Active Directory and then assign a user account with a custom UPN value.
E.g. you can add a custom UPN to AD of .gmail.com and then assign a custom UPN of joeblow@gmail.com to your active directory user who is called contoso\joeblow.
TMG supports the use of login using native or custom UPNs and I have a customer using this approach...
Cheers
