Jason Keltz commented on GUACAMOLE-1081:
----------------------------------------
I tried to integrate this into my production 1.1.0 early this morning, but no
success.
I downloaded guacamole-client zip, applied the patch, ran mvn package and
everything was fine. I replaced the war file with the one I'd just compiled.
I made the following changes to a connection:
* username: ${GUAC_USERNAME:lower}
* SFTP username same
* and the reference to ${GUAC_USERNAME} in sftp file browser root directory to
same
I logged in with all CAPS, and was still unsuccessful in opening that
connection.
Just in case, I tried to replace the ldap module as well, but that didn't
change anything (I didn't think it would).
I'm not sure how to debug this for you.
By the way, while this system will work perfectly for my case, it's important
to note that it would not work for a case where systems actually do support
mixed case usernames. In this case, they would have to stick with the default
option, and accept that logins using different case will fail.

> Key: GUACAMOLE-1081
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1081
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Documentation, guacamole-ext
> Reporter: Jason Keltz
> Assignee: Nick Couchman
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> When the user logs into Guac with parts of their username in uppercase, the
> login to Guac is successful, but then subsequent login to Linux systems fails
> because the username is case sensitive. It would be useful to have an option
> in Guacamole to convert usernames to lowercase or uppercase before passing on
> to the systems.
> One possible suggestion from Nick on the mailing list was something like this:
>
> ${GUAC_USERNAME} - Pass through as entered
> ${GUAC_USERNAME:lower} - Convert string to lower-case
> ${GUAC_USERNAME:upper} - Convert string to upper-case
>
> This would work very well.
> I would be likewise happy with a solution that let me set a default somewhere
> (in my case, all lowercase).
