Case sensitive usernames
I'm using ldap to authenticate to jetspeed 2.1.3 on a Solaris 10
machine. The ldap is not case sensitive to the username but a new users
homepage is being created for each capitalization of the name
In WEB-INF/pages/_user I have guestuser/ guestUser/ gUestUsEr/. Each
with their own homepage. Solaris is case sensitive on folders. Is
there a way for jetspeed to treat guestuser and gUestUsEr as the same
person?

Sounds like the users are already created on the file system. Can you
go out to the file system and rename the directories to upper case?

I modified my login module. To upperCase the username on login. The
problem is with the valve reading from pages/_user/. Solaris is case
sensitive on folders so when a user capitalized there name differently
LDAP still authenticated them because it is case insensitive. But the
psml valve said that user doesn't have a folder so it made a new one
with the different capitalization.

Not out of the box. How are you creating your users? If you are
creating the users with the Administrative portlets (User Manager,
User Registration) I would consider adding a new feature to convert
the usernames to all lower or upper case. Feel free to create a JIRA
issue and assign it to me
