Powershell Plugin, HTTPS, and domain credentials

Has anyone been able to make this work?

I've configured WinRM on my powershell host and it appears to be working correctly.  I can connect via negotiate and kerberos just fine over HTTPS w/ domain credentials.  However, I cannot get the powershell plugin to authenticate w/ a domain service account, it will only connect w/ basic authentication turned on using credentials local to the powershell host. 

I've tried the following syntax for username:

domain\username

username@domain

I did happen to notice that I cannot connect to powershell host forcing basic authentication using the enter-pssession cmdlet either which leads me to the conclusion that basic authentication cannot do domain credentials.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

>that basic authentication cannot do domain credentials.

Yes. The first version of the plugin supports only basic authentication and not with domain credentials.

The good news is that in about 2 weeks, an update release of the plugin would be released that would provide support for kerberos.

Thanks.
