Hi,



I am really confused by the following and would like to know why.



My environment is the following:



2 DC - Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 AD

1 Member Server - IIS 6.0

1 Member Server - Apache/Tomcat



I am using silent Authentication with IE / domain rights to secure internal
web pages.



Well with IIS everything works fine but with Apache I get login errors on
certain workstation. The login error is due that the domain is sent to
Apache in lower case instead of upper case.



My question is why certain Windows machines send its domain in lower case
and others in upper case.



domain\<username> or DOMAIN\<username>



Could I have a explanation for the problem because I need to document it.

Here's an example of an .htaccess file for a website:

AuthType Kerberos
AuthName "MYDOMAIN"
KrbMethodNegotiate on
KrbAuthoritative on
KrbVerifyKDC off
KrbAuthRealm MYDOMAIN.COM
Krb5Keytab /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/http.keytab
<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>

I think the case of the domain probably depends on how the user typed it when
they logged on. Since Windows is case insensitive it does not make much sense
to have a web server that turns it case insensitive. Sounds like an Apache
problem to me, but I have zero experience with Apache on Windows.
