In Ldap, DN is not case sensitive. For example, uid=tao,o=nceas,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org and uid=tao,o=NCEAS,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org will be treated as same DN. But in metacat, they will be treated as two DN becuase in "o" phrase, one is "nceas" and the other is "NCEAS". In order make Ldap and metacat consistent, we should make metacat non-case sensitive.

In PermissionControl and DBQuery class, the DN name in java code was transform to lower case. In sql command, the field in db table which stores DN was change to lower(fieldName). So both of them were changed to lower case, then compare them. This will make metacat non-case sensitive to DN.
