New Employee Username must be Lowercase
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 4:43 pm
I could not find this addressed in another post. Recently we tried to add a new employuee to our system (Community Edition v9.0.12) and after creating the employee they were unable to log in. We have out of habit always created all our usernames in Uppercase and that is how the employee logged in. I have found that all employees, the username is shown in lowercase, but employees that were previously entered can log in with either uppercase or lowercase on the username.
Additionally I was told, that someone else when they were a new employee a couple years ago, that also HAD to use lowercase to login, but now it works either way.
Is it something where a new employee can only have a lowercase username? I do know that if you try to save it as uppercase, it changes it to lower when you go to view that employee, but just find it odd that existing users can login with uppercase usernames, but new ones cannot.
