Have you tried looking at the way your username is stored in windows.
The easiest way I know to do this is run the "net user" command from
windows, or "net user /domain" if it's a domain login.  All of our
network logins are in lower case, as is the same for most of our
customers.  We did have one customer that entered their logins in mixed
case.  Apparently, windows is case-insensitive when checking to see if
the login is valid, but when it returns the login to Universe, it
returns it in the original case that was entered, which for that
customer was mixed.  UV.LOGINS would not work as we had expected.
Ultimately, checking "net user" showed that they were in mixed case.
The way that I knew of to clean this up was to delete and recreate the
login in windows, or possibly rename the user.  Once the user is fixed
in windows, give Universe a reboot to clear it's user cache and it
should be fixed.

Good luck.

Subject: RE: [U2][UV] Up casing Login IDs {unclassified}

Thanks Dave,

I tried it out but, unfortunately, the problem is occurring before the
UV LOGIN voc is invoked. And, to add insult to injury, it is only
happening to my login ID, not to the login ID of anyone else who has
access to the server.

If their UV.LOGINS record is AUSER10, they can enter any case
combination they like (AuSEr10) and UV passes AUSER10 to the UV.LOGINS
file. I use any case combination of my user ID and UV passes asuer14 to
the UV.LOGINS file. Somehow UV knows to upcase all telnet login IDs
except mine.

I suspect it may be because I installed something whilst logged onto the
server as myself, rather than as administrator. However, I did install
UV itself as administrator so it's not that. Possibly UVDK? However, I
have installed UV & UVDK on dozens of servers (Unix and Windows) and
have never had this occur before.

Also, I would rather not maintain separately formatted records for
myself throughout the DB. It would have further consequences in the
management of my records on what is the main payroll database.

Has anyone else encountered this problem before?

Cheers,

Andy
