> There have been numerous occasions where downstream ecosystem components have
> required user and group names to be specific case. Currently Knox does not
> enforce the case of the user or group identity and will use whatever is
> accepted by the authentication provider. The request here is to add a new
> identity-assertion provider that could be configured to do case mapping on
> user and group names. It might be configured in a topology file something
> like what is shown below.
> {code:xml}
> <provider>
> <role>identity-assertion</role>
> <name>SwitchCase</name>
> <param name="user" value="upper"/>
> <param name="group" value="upper"/>
> <enabled>true</enabled>
> </provider>
> {code}
