Urgent: username case insensitive for j_security_check?
I guess I never thought about this, but all my usernames have not been entered in a case insensitive fashion. I can easily enough fix this in the Action Class to make everything lowercase, but how do I do this with the j_security_check form?
I also need a solution that does not rely on JavaScript. Maybe I can use a filter?

Currently I am just using the JBoss framework, and have not done my own.

Mick,
it depends on your login framework. Are you using a tomcat realm or have
you rolled your own? If you are using a JDBC realm with a database, you
could change the query to make the conversion, for instance.

The issues is that I have seen the users that will be on my system. and they
are already adding "TheUserFromOhio" as a username etc... Now I can always
change everything to lower case when they register. But then I still have
the issue about the login.
And many of my users are Mac users, so I seem to have heaps of JavaScript
issues.

Hi Mick,
a filter won't work. You won't be able to put anything between the
browser submit and the container-managed authentication - it's
completely tomcat and allows no programmatic interference. Can't you
convert your user names with a script or something?
