User authentication using Kerberos - case sensitivity problems
Are there any workarounds for the fact that Kerberos usernames are case sensitive, when trying to authenticate (Active Directory) users that don't know (or care) what the correct capitalization of their username is? Logging into a windows workstation isn't case sensitive, so nobody would reasonably expect that logging into anything else using the same account would be case sensitive.
Users expect to be able to type in a username and have it function in a case-insensitive way, but with Kerberos this seems impossible unless you use a "lookup" account that goes and discovers the correct capitalization of a username before attempting to authenticate. Besides being ugly, this is needless, slow, and requires maintanence of an additional account...isn't there a better way?
