copied/pasted from my previous message-

[...]
"in this particular case, i've accommodated for this on the ldap side, by 
modifying the attribute's matching rules to be case insensitive [and it makes 
more sense anyway for an attribute like this] - i'm wondering though if there 
might be value in not case folding ldap lookups."
[...]

the point being that this particular example aside, case sensitive ldap 
attributes are a possibility, raising the question as to whether or not case 
folding of lookup keys should occur. to be clear, i'm asking in general, with 
regard to ldap, not regarding one particular attribute.
