----------------------------------------
Component/s: Distributed Metadata
> Mixed case usernames do not work
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-10394
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10394
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Distributed Metadata
> Environment: Centos 7, Cassandra 2.2.1
> Reporter: William Streaker
> Assignee: Sam Tunnicliffe
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.2.3
>
>
> When you create a user with a mixed case username it is stored as all lower
> case. When you try and login with the mixed case username it will fail, but
> logging in as the lower case name works. This is a change from the 2.1.x
> versions that are released where mixed case usernames worked.
> example:
> CREATE USER stBarts WITH PASSWORD 'island';
> The above statement changes the username to "stbarts".
> This would not be so bad except during login case does matter and has to
> match what is stored in the system.
> Recommended fix: allow mixed case usernames to be stored in system, or
> convert mixed case username entered to lower case during login.
