If I set USERCASE SENSITIVE, I still get all lowercase names in the User
Report.

Accepted. That doesn't explain why my User Report has "adam brown" when
I specified "Adam Brown", and USERCASE SENSITIVE.

And if CASE is sensitive?

Yes, I've been saving up my brownie points until I had a really good one
:-)

That's not really the problem. All of the Logonids start with "hk". So I
can easily get all the unaliased logonIDs if I use USERALIAS and
USERSORTBY ALPHABETICAL, because all the unaliased IDs will be sorted
into a single block. But if I use USERREPALIAS, the ALPHABETICAL sort is
actually based on the original, unaliased userID, (which starts with
"hk"), so the unaliased users are scattered throughout the User Report.

Actually, I might be able to get away with using USERSORTBY FIRSTDATE,
as the unaliased users are, by definition, users who haven't logged in
to the webserver before, so they should filter to the bottom of the
report. (Or is it the top?)
