Lowercase for username on all user providers

Open richardzlh opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

SVN auth file is case sensitive. Can we make sure username of all users are lowercase in auth file from all user providers (especially for LDAP)? Or make a switcher to allow admin to manager what is to be used (lower? upper? raw?)

I think the current state is to use the "raw" case-sensitive version. Wouldn't it be inconsistent to allow case-insensitive login on SVN-Admin but not on other services which use the LDAP authentication mechanism? This might confuse users 🤔

For example, username (admin and Admin) would be identified with different user by SVN service. If it's imported from LDAP with case-sensitive into auth file, it might be confusing.
