Why is the User ID forced case-sensitive?
Hey Rick,
Browsing through the code in WC 6.19 I see that oUserSecurity.lCaseSensitive is no longer used and you are forcing the the User ID to be case-sensitive.
The password obviously needs to be case-sensitive but why force the User ID to be case-sensitive?

It's pretty common practice to have user names and passwords case sensitive to improve security. Users can always choose to use all upper or all lower case usernames. In most cases it's email addresses anyway which typically are entered lowercase.
If that doesn't fit - you can override the object and provide your own lookup/validation routine.
