How would we make our gluu login id case sensitive? ## Wanted Behavior We want "admin", "Admin", and "ADmiN" to be 3 different accounts. ## Actual Behavior Id is case insensitive so we cannot add a user with uid "Admin" when "admin" exists. ## What we tried We tried changing the schema file "00-core.ldif" to make the "UID" attribute EQUALITY: caseExactmatch, SUBSTRING: caseExactSubstringsMatch but the problem remains.

Username should not be case sensitive. It's not a good idea. If you must have this feature for some reason, write a custom authentication script. In the standard code, Gluu probably normalizes the case. In an interception script, you can have more control.

Not possible in default way. It will require more configuration and custom work than just modifying ldap schema ( which is unfortunately beyond community support ). However, if we get some free time... we will test and share our findings. Thanks!
