I believe that Dave's question really is more along the lines of not how to make the login be lower case but how to have it transformed to lower case even if the person logging in types it in upper case.
Looks like Fred, Doug and others have given nice solutions for MidTier. I'm not sure how to force it for the desktop client other than education, education, and more education. We allow guest login and I often get calls/tickets that when folks try to update a record they get permission errors. 99.9% of the time it's because they logged in using upper case and the login is in lower case.
