Since drupal 6 the user name is case sensitive. That's ok with me, but it isn't working!
People with a user name with one or more upper case characters, can't login any more. They have to request for a new password, then they can login, but the next time the problem is there again.
Adding people to Organic Groups with upper case characters isn't working as well.

I'm looking for a solution. Or something to make it work again, or any settings which helps me to block using upper case characters within the user name.

Anyone with the same problem and a solution?

I did some investigation:

The problem is only there when the field 'name' in users - table contains upper case characters.
When name within this table only contains lower case characters, one can login using a combination of upper and lower case characters.

So if the field 'name' contains: Evelien
Login is not possible. Not with: evelien or Evelien

If the field 'name; contains: evelien
the user is able to login. Using evelien as well as Evelien

I'm using drupal 6.2 with the Logintoboggan module, but disabling that module, won't help.
