Question

I'm attempting to use LDAP for twiki authentication. Our LDAP server has all usernames in lowercase letters (abcde), however when linking out using Main.abcde the username is modified to Main.Abcde and the link fails. The switch to the first letter being uppercase only happens under certain circumstances but causes a problem using ALLOW/DENY for security.

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x00x02
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Fedora Core 3
Web server: Apache
Perl version: 5.8.1
Client OS: any.
Web Browser: any.
Categories: Authentication

You need to register users in TWiki. TWiki takes care of mapping from a jsmith login name to the JohnSmith topic.
