Description Denis Roy CLA 2011-02-02 10:44:25 EST 
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?
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2011-02-02 12:43:15 EST 
+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.
Comment 4 Szymon Brandys CLA 2011-06-16 08:19:00 EDT 
Denis, are logins on our public Orions already lower or upper case?
