Mahara allows uppercase letters in usernames, but in lookups, we
lowercase the username entered in the login form, and compare it to
lowercased usernames from the user table.  I don't think we should
change that, but we should investigate further to see if there are cases
where the username is not lowercased in the lookup during sso.

When logging in via ldapauthplugin with a username like jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxx, the username is autocreated without lowercasing it. When one subsequently try to log in via SSO from a Moodle site with the same username an error is produced and login fails. Perhaps usernames should be lowercased on creation?
