   This is an attempt to make comparison of usernames case-insensitive, as most 
authentication systems do not distinguish between case in usernames. This goes 
about it by 1) converting all identifiers to lower-case, and 2) making the 
comparison of identifiers case-insensitive.
   
   I'm really more doing this to get the conversation started on the best way 
to go about this. I realize that this method is a sort of atomic bomb approach 
- it's simple, but has a lot of (potentially negative) implications. It's also 
not in any way configurable. I'm happy to discuss other ways that we can 
accomplish it, but both personal experience with case-sensitive usernames in 
Guacamole along with the other folks who are asking for it makes me believe 
it's something we need to address.
