[rules-users] Guvnor users and case sensitivity

[Jervisliu]

Hi, it is debatable whether or not Guvnor should support case 
insensitive. After all, a lot of authentication systems are case 
sensitivity, like Unix, Java EE role. There is no "easy" way to support 
case insensitive without changing the source code. The best approach IMO 
is to fix the issue at its root cause, i.e., disable case insensitive in 
LDAP. But if this is not an option for you and you dont mind hacking 
codes directly, you can modify RoleBasedPermissionStore 
(http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/labs/labs/jbossrules/trunk/drools-guvnor/src/main/java/org/drools/guvnor/server/security/RoleBasedPermissionStore.java) 
to make it case insensitive when it retrieves user permissions from data 
store.

Cheers,
Jervis
