I'm sorry this bug has taken so long to find its way to the pam package.
Unfortunately, this is not a bug per se in either component. The
problem is a semantic difference between the two different pam modules:
you are using pam_ldap, which does case-insensitive name lookups
(because that's how LDAP works), together with pam_listfile which, like
all the modules include in pam, work on case-sensitive usernames
(because this is the standard Unix semantics).
We could reassign this bug to libpam-ldap, but this seems unlikely to
result in a change in the behavior of that module since it's been that
way for over a decade and no one's figured out a good way to fix it yet.
** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
