Login: lower case email address - #4142
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughLDAP-derived email addresses are converted to lowercase before database user assignment during login. ChangesLDAP email normalization
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The login change lowercases email addresses before looking up existing LDAP users, so mixed-case records may be missed, potentially creating duplicate accounts or username collisions. This concrete correctness and data-integrity risk should be fixed before merging. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 139: Update the login flow around matchExternalUserByEmail to preserve
claims.email in the user’s Email field while using a separate canonical,
case-insensitive lookup key for legacy LDAP matching. Ensure case-only
differences in LDAP local parts remain distinct, and add coverage for mixed-case
stored legacy users and case-only LDAP email differences.

Use a separate case-insensitive lookup key instead of lowercasing the LDAP email.
matchExternalUserByEmail performs an exact email lookup for legacy LDAP users without an identity row. A stored Alice@example.com does not match the lowercased alice@example.com in case-sensitive databases. This can create a second user or fail on a username collision. Lowercasing also merges LDAP entries whose local parts differ only by case.
Preserve the provider email and use an explicit canonical lookup key. Add tests for mixed-case legacy users and case-only LDAP email differences.

Hello,
Sometimes email address casing changes and users are recreated.
DB migration script needed to avoid breaking existing installations, e.g.:
Thank you
