I just thought I'd let you guys know, I technically used the same email to register a different account. The system treats "foo@bar.com" as a different email to "FOO@BAR.COM". This renders the "one account per email" restriction flawed. I was also capable of using the username "ADMIN", while "admin" is disallowed by the system. It might be a good idea to review "when and when not to use case insensitive comparisons". |

That seems to be a trend today. Case insensitiveness of things. Gonna repeat myself. Use a case insensitive collation, and all that stuff will be case insensitive. Hernani - hope you don't mind me converting this to an answer : it does seem to answer the question perfectly

Good catch, @Seb. This really belongs in the Jira more than here. We need to fix this.
Did this ever make it into JIRA? I searched for a ticket and couldn't find one.
We have OSQA linked to LDAP. I logged in from iOS once and my username was automatically capitalized, OSQA treated it as a different user but LDAP ignored case, so now there are two accounts in OSQA that authenticate to the same LDAP account. Yuck.
This is not an answer to the question, so it should not be posted as an answer. It would be more appropriate as a comment on the question, itself. I will move it.
