[Freeswitch-users] Alias user mapping

[Peter Hinman]

I've noticed that when using an alphanumeric ID, case sensitivity causes 
issues.  It doesn't seem to matter what case the userID is in the XML 
directory.  What does seem to matter is how the user registered their 
phone.  If the user registered in all upper case (JOHN_SMITH), then 
dialing John_Smith will not work. 

My work around for this is to tell all users to register their phones in 
lower case, and then my dial plan uses LUA to force all dialed 
extensions to lowercase.
