Problem solved! Thanks to all who replied. 

I had installed UV as the administrator, but edited the odbc.config file
as myself. A uvregen at the command prompt and then stopping and
starting UV services sorted out UV and it is now passing my login ID to
the UV.lOGINS file in upper case.

I had stopped and started UV as part of my trouble shooting of this
problem but not with a uvregen, which seems to be the key here. 

Cheers,

Andy

That's been our experience as well.  We authenticate our linux UV logins
against Active Directory, and our UV user names have always been all
uppercase.  Users can log in using either case (or mixed case), but the
user name in UV as returned by @WHO is exactly how the user name was
entered when it was created in AD.

When new users are inadvertently created with the wrong case, we delete
them from AD and re-create them correctly.
