Title:
The user's primary email address is not checked in a case insensitive
way
Status in Mahara:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently you can create 2 users, via the Admin -> Users -> Add user
screen, with this:
username: Test one email: [email protected]
username: Test two email: [email protected]
but not another user with
username: Test three email: [email protected]
As it complains the email address '[email protected]' is used
However, with email addresses the domain part is case insensitive and
only the username part is case sensitive - yet saying that most email
servers treat the username part also as case insensitive to avoid
email delivery confusion - see https://www.lifewire.com/are-email-
addresses-case-sensitive-1171111
To also avoid confusion within Mahara we should limit the primary
email address to be case insensitive unique.
