[xwiki-users] duplicate ldap entries

I just downloaded and installed the latest yesterday.
(xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-1.5-milestone-2.exe)

Maybe I have something setup in my LDAP configuration wrong?

I think you can even get the same effect with manually creating the
accounts in xwiki, however.  For example the default administrative
account is Admin, but you could also create a user account called admin
since it seems to care about the username being case sensitive.  So
maybe it doesn't have anything to do with LDAP.  However, it would be
cool to have xwiki know that Firstname.lastname is the same as
firstname.lastname when logging in with ldap authentication to avoid it
from creating duplicate accounts.

Thanks,
Brent

This should be already supported by LDAP authenticator I think.
What database engine do you use ?
