Can we make login api case-insensitive ?

[simo.adonis]

Hi ! i've noticed that when we call the login API it refuses to log in if the username/email is written in a different case than the one inserted in the DB.
And this is a problem for use, is it possible to turn off that behavior?

There's no current way to do this within FusionAuth.

One option would be to update all your users to have uppercase username/emails via the Update User API, then whenever you call the login API, uppercase the username/email value before submitting it.

Please feel free to file a feature request outlining this feature/use case in more detail if you'd like FusionAuth to support it.

Thanks!

@simo-adonis , another team member took a look at this forum post and tested against an instance in our cloud. He saw case-insensitive matching of username and password.

Can you please provide more details about the behavior you are seeing?

• version of FusionAuth
• backing database (mysql or postgresql)
• how you are adding users
• an example of a username or email address that doesn't work in a case insensitive manner

Thanks so much!
