The quickest solution I can think of would be to add a before_filter in your
UsersController:
class UsersController < ApplicationController
hobo_user_controller
auto_actions :all
before_filter :normalize_login, :only => [:login, :forgot_password]
protected
def normalize_login
params[:login].downcase!
params[:email_address].downcase!
end
end
You didn't ask about the forgot password part, but an identical argument
applies to that situation...
