Login fails if e-mail in different case than stored in the database #8602

The galaxy server in question uses authentication via LDAP exclusively, with auto-registration enabled. The e-mail address returned from the LDAP server for a specific user is in the form User.Name@example.org (note the upper case letters), but stored in the galaxy database completely in lower case. If the user tries to log in using the e-mail address, the login fails with the following message: Auto-registration failed, contact your local Galaxy administrator. User with that email already exists.

That's true, I've seen this in the form of users using different capitalisations of their email address and ending up with a new user.
