Description

Description

Whenever we create groups in Ldap with names with combined cased letters separated by hyphens -, then it is converted to completely lower-cased name when we sync them with OC.

Steps to reproduce

  1. create a group with name Case-Sensitive-Group on Ldap server (e.g. https://127.0.0.1:8443/)
  2. sync new group with OC using occ
  3. view user in oc users list or using occ eg: occ group:list

Expected output

  • A group with name Case-Sensitive-Group should be listed

Actual output

  • A group with name case-sensitive-group is listed

Research direction

Reproduce the issue against the LDAP server at https://127.0.0.1:8443/ and run the group synchronization with occ. Start by tracing the group-sync entry point and compare the LDAP group name with the result from occ group:list. Done means mixed-case names such as Case-Sensitive-Group remain unchanged in ownCloud.
