Load oar does not convert the given names to lowercase and I was able just now to create two user accounts of the same
name but with different casing.
When you do load oar, are you doing --default-user "Joe Bloggs"? The quotes are critical so that the full name is
passed as the --default-user argument and not just Joe.

I think I found a bug in how the OAR --default-user parameter is being used by
opensim. I tried using a name that had
the first letter of the first and last name upper case, however the LOAD OAR
function says that user can not be found.
I then changed the name to have all lower case letters in the LOAD OAR command
and it worked.
The problem is the user really is registered with the first letters of each
name as upper case. I tried to log in using
the name with all lower case, and opensim fails that login name. The problem
is the LOAD OAR command is apparently
changing all letters in the string to be lower case for the registered name but
testing for the actual entered name in
the LOAD OAR command. The correct operation I would think would be to preserve
whatever case is in either field so no
matter what actual name was used it would only match that name and be case
sensitive. In any case, opensim has a
problem with case sensitive names because it is not consistent in how the
different functions look for a registered
name. I discovered trying to create a user of an existing user with mixed
case finds the existing user using a case
insensitive process and says the user already exists. opensim should be
consistent in user names in terms of case
sensitivity. Most people do use upper case for the first letter of their
proper names.
The name “New User”, and “new user” are not the same name, but LOAD OAR treats
them as if they are, LOGIN does not and
treats them as if they are two unique names, CREATE USER treats them as the
same name but let you register either one
retaining the case enter. This is very inconsistent since other commands and
functions use the user name and there
should be a single correct way for all parts of the program to work with the
actual registered user name that exists in
the database.
Am I missing something in how the user name is suppose to work?

I have a question about using the --default-user switch on a older release of
opensim. I am currently stuck using
version 0.8.1 DEV 2014-08-15 which is what was running just before OSgrid went
down. When I do the load oar it says it
cannot find the user but “show user account” does show the user. Have these
commands been updated since that release?
The OAR was saved using the –publish option.
I tried to use the current release, but on my standalone avatars remain gray,
nearly nothing will rezz on the regions,
and the operation is very erratic. I guess trying to leap forward 6 months
does not work very well with existing regions.
