[CentOS] windbind and AD authentication - UPPER CASE usernames?
We're looking at using windbind and AD for our user account details but have run into a small snag. All user accounts in AD are upper case but our linux accounts are lower-case. Is there a simple solution we've overlooked? We really don't want to have to hack this...

So you can enter all your logins as lowercase, it will be fine for AD. Only for passwords, it makes a difference.
