You don't mention what the actual problem is (authentication failing?
JAAS?) but I lookup usernames entered on the web from LDAP (uid),
which is case-preserving (keeps and returns case as stored, which is
consistently lowercase here) but has case-insensitive matching
rules. That way usernames entered on the web are normalized "for
free". Don't know if that helps or not.
