The login/authentication process is case-sensitive with regards to the user id.  If user id's are created with mixed case, this could burden the server admin.

Can the user id be made case insensitive?

+1, case insensitive user ids are pretty common.

Right. It's already set for M6 to make our admin life better ;)

I think this is worthwhile for RC2 so long as it's pretty simple. This will altogether prevent one of the most common login problems.

Denis, are logins on our public Orions already lower or upper case?
