AUTO_TO_LOWERCASE_UID

[hognevevle]

Hi,

Can someone explain what the purpose of the setting "AUTO_TO_LOWERCASE_UID" is, and how it works? What are the practical effects of enabling this?

The documentation is not very informative: "this will lowercase the uid".

I tried enabling it in our test environment, but it seems to introduce some problems:

[root@ox-beta ~]# listuser -c 37
users in context 37 could not be listed:

Disabling it again will remove this error.

What it is meant to do is during provisioning it will make sure that OX saves the given UID as lower case letters no matter what is given to the CLT or API.

If it creates a reproducible issue when listcontext is called this sounds like it could be a bug. What is the exact version you are running?
