Item13810: Local Groups not working on upercase LDAP login

i have installed and configured Foswiki 2.0.2 and everthing works fine including LDAP authentication.

but local (non LDAP) groups and permissions work only if i login with lowercase obvul uid. if i login with OBVUL i don't have access to topics which are allowed in lowercase.

the group topic contains my wikiname, not the uid.

   * GROUP = %USERSWEB%.UlrichLeodolter

$Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{CaseSensitiveLogin} = 0;

The ldap cache.db contains the following settings (without U2EMAIL and EMAIL2U):

 W2U::UlrichLeodolter
 obvul
 U2W::obvul
 UlrichLeodolter
 DN2U::uid=OBVUL,ou=fe_users,dc=obvsg,dc=at
 obvul
 U2DN::obvul
 uid=OBVUL,ou=fe_users,dc=obvsg,dc=at

The following patch resolves the problem for me. Now i can login using any case and the non ldap group permissions are applied correctly.

Why was this line commented out?
