Username is always lowercase

[phm46]

Hey, thank you for this amazing plugin!

Today I've had problem with authorization in web application. Server stored usernames in uppercase, but plugin was sending lowercase. I've tried to change username to uppercase, but it still remained same. Then I looked in source code and discovered that it is always lowercase. When I modified line 464 and removed "toLowerCase" function it worked as expected.
It would be nice to have option to use username "as it is".

Hi - thanks for your feedback and glad you are finding it useful!

I've never encountered this issue before - can I ask what the Kerberos technology in use is? I've never known Active Directory to care about case sensitivity of usernames. Is it something other than Windows you are testing?

It does sound like I need to add a case-sensitivity option for the username anyway....

Well, to be exact.

Web application uses kerberos username as authorization mechanism for DMS system. Kerberos part in web application worked flawlessly. However, that web application also communicate with DMS system and that system is case sensitive. So when application called DMS system and used my username in headers, it used lowercase version I’ve sent. That was problem because DMS system didn’t recognized my username

Thanks, that makes sense.
Obviously this is a bit of an edge case, but it would be an easy feature to add, so I'll hopefully include it in the next release (no timescale for that at the moment though unfortunately!)

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to let you know about this.
No need to rush, I've fixed it by myself for this case :)
