you are absolutely correct, not only realms but the whole principal is
case-sensitive. But we want to play nice with AD users and make it easy
to log in with the alternative domain suffix feature (some call it log
in with email address because they often look the same) which is often
used in larger forests.

Since AD treats the names and principals case-in-sensitive most AD user
will not know the correct spelling and so we treat them
case-in-sensitive in SSSD as well.
