RTC User-Id Case Sensitive Issue
Hi Team, We host multiple RTC Projects for our clients, recently we experienced one issue, user was able to login with his user-id in uppercase, and if you check the user profile it says ADMIN. However we have verified the JTS settings called “com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.ContributorService”parameter set to false that means the user id is case sensitive. One should be able to login with only lower case (LDAP lower case ids), but here user is able to login with upper case also. Even i was able to login with Upper case and Display name it says ADMIN. Environment Details: RTC 3.0.1.1 Application Server: Tomcat Windows OS and MS Active Directory Services.
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Regards, Assassin 777

I think it needs to be done in JTS, CCM, QM. RM uses JTS as far as I know.
I would also disable ADMIN which setup does by default http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/topic/com.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc/topics/tdisableadmin.html . R Z selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments Guys, Admin account is already disabled and i have verified the parameter "com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.ContributorService" both in /jts/admin and /ccm/admin, it is set to False. Thank You |

This is because your LDAP server is case insensitive. When you log in as Jsmith or jsmith the LDAP server sends back a success so you can log in but the account in the RTC database does not match so the account shows up as ADMIN. The only ways to resolve it that I know of is to set RTC to be case insensitive. And as Jared mentioned you will need to set that for each application separately. Or you could configure LDAP to be case sensitive.

Comments Thank you for the responses. I was able to resolve ADMIN issue. Need to check LDAP side.

The Use case insensitive user ID matching property needs to be set within each of your CLM applications (jts, ccm, etc).

Comments Consider approaching support, or fix the user ID's so you don't need the case insensitive flag, which is a crutch for users that don't want to fix the problem in the first place.
