Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, 'sudo' returned a 'cache error' whenever a mixed cased user name or a mixed cased group name was fetched from an Active Directory via LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or QAS (Quest Authentication Services). With this update, the case of a user name or a group name is ignored and 'sudo' no longer returns a 'cache error'.
