[Freeswitch-users] Alphanumeric case sensitivity

[Peter Hinman]

  Hi Michael - thank you for taking a look at the code.

The user_ID for User1 at example.com is lower case "user1", but the user is 
able to successfully register as "User1".

Policy is good, but it's always nice to be able to enforce policy in 
code.  Is there a way to force all registrations to match the case of 
the User_ID? I haven't seen anything in the wiki or the book that seemed 
to do that.

Here is an example of one of our user accounts from the directory - are 
we missing something there?:

<user id="adam.smith" number-alias="1001" mailbox="1001">
<params>
<param name="password" value = "NotARealPassword"/>
<param name="vm-password" value = "****"/>
<param name="vm-email-all-messages" value = "true"/>
<param name="vm-attach-file" value = "true"/>
<param name="vm-keep-local-after-email" value = "true"/>
<param name="vm-mailto" value = "adam.smith at ParcelPool.com"/>
</params>
<variables>
<variable name="toll_allow" value="domestic,international,local"/>
<variable name="accountcode" value="1001"/>
<variable name="user_context" value="default"/>
</variables>
</user>
