it depends on your login framework. Are you using a tomcat realm or have you rolled your own? If you are using a JDBC realm with a database, you could change the query to make the conversion, for instance.

The issues is that I have seen the users that will be on my system. and they are already adding "TheUserFromOhio" as a username etc... Now I can always change everything to lower case when they register. But then I still have the issue about the login. And many of my users are Mac users, so I seem to have heaps of JavaScript issues.

I guess I never thought about this, but all my usernames have not been
entered in a case insensitive fashion. I can easily enough fix this in the Action Class to make everything lowercase, but how do I do this with the j_security_check form?
I also need a solution that does not rely on JavaScript. Maybe I can use
a filter?
Hi Mick, a filter won't work. You won't be able to put anything between the browser submit and the container-managed authentication - it's completely tomcat and allows no programmatic interference. Can't you convert your user names with a script or something?
