      When you register, your username (and perhaps also password) are made to lowercase before stored (username visible as lowercase in useradmin).

      When a member try and log on using upper and lowercase, he will not be able to log on. So the user who thought he created a mixed case account cannot relogin. And the cookie that gets stored has (as it seems) mixed case at the time when the user register. So it will not allow the user back in.
      He will not be able to get a new password ether until he is told to use lowercase only.

      I might have set it up wrongly ofc, but i have tried it to the extent of my knowledge.

            [CONFSERVER-3558] Reopening CONF-1324 about username with uppcase letters

            Matt Ryall added a comment -

            This is working properly in Confluence 3.5.

            You can still only create users with a lowercase username, but you can log in with any case. Confluence's user management system is designed to be case-preserving but case-insensitive.
