#890 [RFE] Ability to set a domain as case sensitive or insensitive
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by gbarros.

Unfortunately a lot of environments do not follow posix standards on case sensitivity. It would be a good usability enhancement to allow for a domain to be viewed as case sensitive or insensitive.

Viewed or used where? Can you please specify the use case. Are we talking about domain names in the config file or domain suffix (kerberos realm) of the user principal or the domain in terms of the netgroups?

User and Group names are case insensitive on most LDAP servers.
So we should have an option to mark a sssd domain as case insensitive do all our string comparisons in a case-insensitive way and return all user and group names lowercased to the OS.
