Hi Sebastian, I'm not a good developer but i try to understand your new code. If the new param ldap_use_lower_case is added to the config file, you convert in lower case the value fill-in by users in the Openmeetings login window ? am i right ?
But i don't see where you convert also in lower case the answer of the ldap request (username field only of course) ... To be sure both string will be the same. Maybe i've not seen it. Thank you very much for your quick answers on issues, that's really great ! Regards. Benoit >>> "seba.wag...@gmail.com" <seba.wag...@gmail.com> 24/01/2012 09:51 >>> I've resolved the issue: there is a new param ldap_use_lower_case that you can add in the config file. If the param is true, the username is converted to lowercase before validating the username. This has no effect on how the password is verified. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-27?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel#issue-tabs Sebastian 2012/1/23 Jeff Schoby <ssrj...@gmail.com> > LDAP usernames, as I understand it, should be case insensitive. > On Jan 23, 2012 3:19 PM, "Norbert Haag" <norb...@noahidenations.com> > wrote: > >> Quite frankly I think that this behavior is an not an issue but a >> feature.
