Hey!

Noticed while doing some tests that the ldap authentification is case sensitive.
It seems to be the case for all the auth mechanisms aswell:
Root is not the same user as root

Is this expected? is it done on purpose for any reasons?

On my side, i would expect it to not be case sensitive:
administrator@test should be logged in as Administrator@test

Thanks for you answers and help!

users are case-sensitive on Linux, e.g.:
Code:
$ sudo -u Root whoami
sudo: unknown user: Root
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

$ sudo -u root whoami
root
