Description Dmitri Pal 2012-01-03 13:53:50 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/1123

When using ldap authentication and with case_sensitive set to FALSE you ARE able to log in with lower case usernames but in the background the username is still upper case.

I have a user 'User' in our ldap tree (novell eDirectory)
i can log in with 'user'
'getent passwd user' will show 'User:*:###:###:User:/home/User:/bin/bash'

whoami will return User as well when you su - user.

Please add steps to reproduce/verify this issue without eDirectory. thanks

I'm not sure if this bug made it into any of the released versions, so you might not be able to reproduce the issue, but verifying it is fixed should be rather easy:

Create a user with mixed-case name.  Run getent passwd SomeUser.
With the default settings (which is case-sensitive), getent should return the name as stored on the server (SomeUser).

Configure the SSSD domain to be case-insensitive (case_sensitive = false), remove the cache, restart SSSD and run getent again. The name should be returned lowercased in the case-insensitive domain (someuser)
