Mokey currently allows case-sensitive username when signing-up. However, the
user_add
rpc call sanitizes the username and make it all lowercase. The user signing-up is never warned, so it might try to login with the case sensitive version of its username.Furthermore, the homedir value is created in Mokey and is not sanitized by the rpc_call. So when the user logins with its lowercase username, the value of $HOME is wrong, and the user's session starts in /.
This PR proposes to make sure the username is lowercase. I have also added check that the username is not only made of numbers, which is not allowed in FreeIPA.
