--- Comment #9 from Tyler Romeo <tylerro...@gmail.com> ---
I'm not so sure about that. The idea behind User::getCanonicalName() is that
the returned string is the unique name by which the user is identified. If two
names are passed into that function and the same canonical value is returned,
then those two users should be considered identical. To bypass that
functionality would mean treating identical users differently.

The fix for this should be for LdapAuthentication to provide some sort of
migration script that fixes the case of usernames in the database.
