The test plan was executed for Noble (24.04) and I confirm it was successful.
The package version used for the tests is the one proposed, as can be seen by
the output of apt-cache policy:
adsys:
Installed: 0.14.2~24.04
Candidate: 0.14.2~24.04
Version table:
*** 0.14.2~24.04 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-proposed/main amd64 Packages
The following steps were executed:
1) Create a fresh VM with Ubuntu 24.04;
2) Join an active directory domain (created for test purposes);
3) Edit the SSSD configuration file (/etc/sssd/sssd.conf), ensure that the
domain-related section has capitalized letters (e.g. [domain/DOMAIN.COM]) and
restart the SSSD service;
4) Install adsys;
5) Authenticate with an AD user that belongs to the domain;
After step 5, the user was authenticated and the domain-related settings
were applied.

Title:
Ignore casing in domain/ section of sssd.conf
Status in adsys package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in adsys source package in Jammy:
Fix Committed
Status in adsys source package in Noble:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Upstream issues: https://github.com/ubuntu/adsys/issues/1054
tracking bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adsys/+bug/2078245
[ Impact ]
adsys does not accept uppercase domainnames and lowercase ones mixed
like this:
[sssd]
domains = domain.tld
config_file_version = 2
services = nss, pam, ifp
default_domain_suffix = domain.tld
[domain/DOMAIN.TLD]
default_shell = /bin/bash
This imposed to set all the domains to lower cases.
This has been introduced by the support for Winbind.
[ Test Plan ]
1. In sssd.conf set the value of the key "domains" and the correponding
section to the same domain but with different casing
2. Log in
without the patch, the user cannot log in and the following error is
displayed in the logs:
Jul 17 15:06:09 HOSTNAME systemd[1]: Starting ADSys daemon service...
Jul 17 15:06:09 HOSTNAME adsysd[35284]: level=error msg="couldn't create
adsys service: could not initialize AD backend: can't get domain configuration
from {Conf:/etc/sssd/sssd.conf CacheDir:/var/lib/sss/db}:could not find AD
domain section corresponding to "domain.tld">
with the patch the user can log in
[ Where problems could occur ]
Worst case, the user still cannot log in
