Description

Since usernames on windows are case insensitive the same
user can be given in many ways, e.g "administrator",
"Administrator" and "ADMINISTRATOR". The way a user 
logs into the machine is reflected in license usage (FLEXlm).
In most cases we do not want this to be handled as
three separate users.

If case is significant, filtrator can be configured to 
keep case by adding/modifying the
"filtrator.case-sensitivty" object in

  /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf

By default username is case insensitive but hostnames are
left case sensitive:

        case-sensitivity()=""
        {
                username(Bool)="false"{}
                hostname(Bool)="true"{}
        }

Installation

Unpack tar file in e.g /tmp/patch on the Open iT host. Do the 
following as root:

  cd /tmp/patch
  ./patch.pl
