AFAIK most LDAP fields (except e.g. password) are case-insensitive, so this shouldn't pose a problem. > - In the findByNetid method there is NO change to lower case, so it can > not be found. LDAPAuthentication.java and LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication.java both use "netid.toLowerCase()" when using the findByNetid method, so that is OK. However RegisterServlet.java does not - so this probably needs addressing. I suspect that this hasn't been discovered so far as probably most sites using LDAP have LDAP auto registration turned on. It would be good if you could report this in the bug tracker so we can get it fixed: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=19984&atid=119984 Thanks, Stuart _________________________________________________________________ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: [email protected] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
