> If you create a user with some capital letters in the username, Ambari accepts the request and creates a user with the lowercase version of that username.  However, if you then do a GET on the original username, Ambari gives a 200 response but an empty response body:
> {noformat}
> GET /api/v1/users/MixedCase
> 200 OK
> <empty response>
> GET /api/v1/users/mixedcase
> 200 OK
> {
>   "href" : "https://ambari-8d6c17ae32685572aa82f82b813138a1.cbdptest.com/api/v1/users/mixedcase",
>   "Users" : {
>     "active" : true,
>     "admin" : false,
>     "groups" : [ ],
>     "ldap_user" : false,
>     "user_name" : "mixedcase"
>   },
>   "widget_layouts" : [ ],
>   "privileges" : [ ]
> }
> {noformat}
> Ambari should throw a 404 error at a minimum, but better yet, just lowercase the username requested and return the right user.  Since we silently lowercase it on POST, we should do the same on GET, IMO.
