Jason Keltz commented on GUACAMOLE-1081:
----------------------------------------
Nick/Mike,
I've had more than 50 trouble tickets since September over this issue. In
particular, it seems that students using Macs with Safari are the most common.
Apparently, when they hit enter, the first letter of the username goes to
uppercase. Guac allows them in, but none of the systems like the capital. Is
there a simpler way I can solve this problem in the meantime? Recompiling in
the middle of the term may be difficult. Is there a way through my
branding.jar extension which I'm using to change the graphic on the login
screen to be able to modify a CSS property to make the username form field all
lowercase?
It would be something like:
.login-ui .login-dialog .login_fields [something here]{
text-transform: lowercase;
}
... but I have to be careful that it's modifying only the username field and
not the password one and I don't know if the username field has a specific name.
Is this possible in the meantime?

> 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).
