You have it outside the > ( after type="text" ) Remove the > after type="text" so the onChange is inside the input HTML

Sorry for my ignorance but I do not know java script. I changed it to the following: <td> <input name="<%=Params.USERNAME%>" maxlength="<%=Params.USERNAME_LENGTH%>" id="username-id" value="<%=com.remedy.arsys.share.HTMLWriter.escape(name)%>" class="loginfield" size="30" type="text"> onChange="javascript:this.value = this.value.toLowerCase();"> </td> It still does not work and the onChange line is now appearing on my login screen.

I think you are on the wrong line ... You are on the Authentication line, not the Username line. Authentication is the "Domain" line. You want the following line. <input name="<%=Params.USERNAME%>" maxlength="<%=Params.USERNAME_LENGTH%>" id="username-id" value="<%=com.remedy.arsys.share.HTMLWriter.escape(name)%>" class="loginfield" size="30" type="text"> Add the onChange to it.

I just tried this on my test box. My login.jsp is different from yours. I am on version 7.1. It looks like this: <input type="text" NAME="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING%>" id="auth-id" maxlength="<%=Params.AUTHENTICATION_STRING_LENGTH%>" class="loginfield" size="30" I tried adding this: value="<%=name%>" class="Login" size="20" onChange="javascript:this.value = this.value.toLowerCase();"> To the login.jsp but my results are the same.

I just went in to test this using a text-transform CSS tag and it doesn't seem to work right. While I can make the text appear lowercase in the form, if I type uppercase when I enter the login name it displays it in lowercase but passes the uppercase value to the Remedy system. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Blair Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 3:19 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Case Sensitive User IDs? It's a little more subtle than that. If your user enters a login name and it's passed out to AREA/LDAP for authentication and the LDAP source is case-insensitive (for example Active Directory) then the user will be authenticated regardless of case. The username returned from AREA will be the username stored in the LDAP source, which might not match (case-wise) the user name typed by the user! So you enter: joeuser (all lower) and your AD SAMAccountName contains JoeUsER (mixed case) you will be an authenticated user named JoeUsER (mixed case). There is no such user in ARS' User form so you are authenticated, with nothing but a read/guest license and no groups. The only solutions for this is to write your own plugin or wrapper around the LDAP process that will force the user name to your perferred convention (e.g. lowercase) even if AD returns something different, or return the original text entered by the user, or to cleanup the contents of the account name (sic) field in your active directory. And make sure everybody enters the data that way going forward. None of these sound like fun! The combination of forcing the user to type all lowercase on the web login page with a text-decoration and making all the AD entries lowercase DOES work, but is not pretty :-) Doug ___ Doug Blair Remedy Skilled Professional doug<at>blairing<dot>com +1-224-558-5462 ......
