Hi,

I am using Realm for authentication on my site.
The problem is it is accepting case insensitive username when authenticating.
i.e, If the user name is Username it is accepting and authenticating username. Is there any solution to this.
Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Pavani

I had the exact opposite problem, so I subclassed the JDBC realm to get case-insensitive passwords.

However, the generally accepted paradigm is that user IDs should be case-insensitive and passwords should be case-sensitive. Of course the various Unix-like OS's are case-sensitive on both, but the web is supposed to be more OS-independent.

Some of the standard realms may offer case-sensitivity switches as part of their basic config, so check the one you're using. I only did the subclass because I didn't have that option.
