Hello,

Could you help me find out how do I turn off the case-sensitive option.
I have a hard time to find this setting.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Note: also archived users are not allowed to only differ by case. You must clean this first.

 For user case sensitivity navigate to the /<app>/admin and /jts/admin  Advanced Properties pages and update
com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.ContributorService the default value is false, as Karl comments below update this to true to turn on case insensitive matching.

 Confirm that you have the matching setting in WAS or Tomcat to support this.

WAS will be in your Security Realm Definition, look for the option Ignore case for authorization

 In Tomcat this is default, and is a property in the server.xml file.

You need to go to the  Advanced Properties pages  for each of your applications
i.e. server:port/jts/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.configureAdvanced
Search for:
com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.ContributorService  or just ContributorService  
Set:
Use case insensitive user ID matching to true

Any duplicate useranmes that differ only by case will have issues after changing this setting.

Important note for CLM 4.x users who use Tomcat.  As of Tomcat 7 (which ships with CLM 4) this option is removed and you are forced to use case-sensitive logins. 

This gave me a a lot of trouble when I upgraded from version 3 to 4.
