Account name case

[whitlockjc]

The mod_authz_svn authz file is case sensitive which presents a problem in AD environments since user names are case insensitive. Depending on how their username was entered in AD and how the user entered their username their login may or may not work. A switch in sync_ldap_groups_to_svn_authz.py would be useful for normalizing username cases. Combined with the mod_map_user module in the Apache configuration all user names could be sanitized to a single form for authorization checking.

Hi, I'm running into this same problem. I can't find the module mod_map_user. However with enabling of the AuthzForceUsernameCase Lower from http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.mod_authz_svn.conf.html, the apache locations for svn and viewvc do not work.

For now we accept that our users have to login with lower case usernames.
