The case shouldn't be needed. If you have entries in LDAP with
attributes such as
objectClass: puppetClient
puppetClass: webserver
and you have this somewhere in your manifests
class webserver {
# stuff
}
then the "stuff" will get applied to the node that matches that LDAP
entry.

Assuming you've added something like this to your puppet.conf
node_terminus = ldap
ldapserver = ldap.blah.blah
ldapbase = ou=computers,cn=blah,dc=blah,dc=blah
then the puppetmaster will search there for
"(&(objectClass=puppetClient)(cn=fully.qualified.domain.name))". If it
doesn't find anything using the FQDN, it will search using
"cn=hostname" and if that fails, "cn=default".

It took a fair bit of trial and error for me to understand, but it was
worth it (and the documentation for using LDAP has improved quite a
bit recently).
