Case insensitive LDAP authentication

[Drashna]

For a linux LDAP server, the current implementation is fine, as the usernames are case sensitive.
However, Windows AD's LDAP implementation is not case sensitive for usernames.
So this means that it will create multiple user names if you have that option enabled.

Could we get an option that makes it case insensitive, so that there are no issues when using a Windows AD server?
And ideally, force the cached usernames to be lowercase as well.

Yes, I would like this as well - I am not using AD, but Apple's own Open Directory LDAP services, and they too are case in-sensitive. So I end up with duplicate user names for the same person if they use different capitalization...i have a Michael and a michael for instance, and many others. Please fix this up. Thanks!
