Log:
[JENKINS-12607] canonicalize the name.
> Active directory user names should not be case sensitive.
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JENKINS-12607
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12607
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: active-directory
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: Windows Server 2008.
> Reporter: Paul M
> Priority: Minor
>
> Active directory user names should not be case sensitive. For example if I
> add the user "paul" then I would expect to be able to also login as "Paul",
> "pAul" or any other case combination.
> At the moment this won't match any user name and fail to login the user in,
> or worse match none and apply "authenticated user" permissions. This seems to
> confuse a lot of users.
> If there is a use case where case sensitivity is required then I think there
> should be a toggle option to enable or disable it.
