Why lower case "ldap-username-field"? #56
Comments
It seems that it is NOT a good idea to fill the ldap-username-field by the givenName attribute : If two users are having the same username Wekan totally gets confused. Only one user is created but the profile information is mixed up (full name changes after login but e-mail doesnt). Therefore I like to request a new case sentitive field for email salutation (e.g. ldap-salutation-field) and recommend to keep the ldap-username-field by something more unique, e.g. userprincipalname. |

Wekan uses the "username" field for email salutation ("Dear username,") and subject line ("admin sent you an invitation") and we can use "ldap-username-field" to fill it with something usefull via LDAP authentication.
As the field doesn't support spaces (will get replaced by dots) it makes most sense to use the "givenname" attribute in my opinion. Unfortunately it gets converted 82C2 to lower case.
"Dear Daniel" would be a much nicer salutation than "Dear daniel". Any chance to preserve the case? Otherwise I'd recommend to use the "Full Name" within emails (this one preservce the case).
