--------------------------------------------------------------------

[~kangaroo22]: I figured out what's going on with this - turns out the modifier is getting canonicalized along with the rest of the token, so:

{code}
${GUAC_USERNAME:lower}
{code}

becomes:

{code}
${GUAC_USERNAME:LOWER}
{code}

and the code didn't taken that into account.  I've submitted the pull request so that it pays attention to and both "lower" and "LOWER" should behave the same.

> When the user logs into Guac with parts of their username in uppercase, the login to Guac is successful, but then subsequent login to Linux systems fails because the username is case sensitive.  It would be useful to have an option in Guacamole to convert usernames to lowercase or uppercase before passing on to the systems.
> One possible suggestion from Nick on the mailing list was something like this:
>  
> ${GUAC_USERNAME} - Pass through as entered
> ${GUAC_USERNAME:lower} - Convert string to lower-case
> ${GUAC_USERNAME:upper} - Convert string to upper-case
>  
> This would work very well.
> I would be likewise happy with a solution that let me set a default somewhere (in my case, all lowercase).
