Case insensitive fields causing idempotence errors. #743

Open rjeffman opened 2 years ago

In IPA, the fields relating to user, group, host, hostgroups, and services are compared in a case insensitive manner.

Some modules don't reflect this behavior and do case sensitive comparison, like ipagroup and ipadelegation.

A complete review of the fields comparison should be done.

The module fails with following error message:

hostgroup_add_member: host hostNameWithCapitalLetters: This entry is already a member
