Hello Peter,
sorry for the delay in answering: I have been travelling.
Oh, I see. No RewriteUsername does not rewrite passwords.
To do that, you are going to need to write a hook that rewrites the password.
This is ugly and a bit slow, but it will do what you want:
PreAuthHook sub { \
my $pw = ${$_[0]}->decode_password(${$_[0]}->{Client}->{Secret});\
$pw =~ tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/;\
${$_[0]}->{CachedAttrs}{2} = \
${$_[0]}->encode_password($pw, ${$_[0]}->{Client}->{Secret});}
I have CCd this to the list for general information.
Cheers.
