RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
Comment 1 Jenny Severance 2012-02-02 13:13:50 UTC 
Please add steps to reproduce/verify this issue without eDirectory. thanks
Comment 2 Jakub Hrozek 2012-02-02 15:19:19 UTC 
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)
