Enhancement of
LdapContrib with disabling casesensitivity
We faced a lot of problems with Active Directory authentication since AD desktop logins (e.g. Windows login screen) are case INsensitive.
Frequently users are used to type in there loginattribute in lc, but the loginattribute is stored uc. Our idea is to create a variable "casesensitivity" in the
LdapContrib to provide both case insenstive and sensitive logins.
We created a patch for the
LdapContrib.pm file. Aditional patches for the login manger
LdapApacheLogin.pm will be placed here soon. We also created a new
LdapTemplateLogin manager to handle lc logins.
