      Jenkins 2.19.4
      Role-based Authorization Strategy 2.3.2

      Depending on how you login to Jenkins, the role assignment works or doesn't work.

      e.g. if you assign "simpleuser" a role, but he logs in as "SimpleUser", the role is not assigned. Same with the other way round.

      If the logs out, and logs back in as "simpleuser", it works.

      On his /users/simpleuser page, the "Jenkins login name" is, regardless of how he logs in, stated as "simpleuser".

          Unfortunatelly, I can confirm such behavior...

          LDAP users in camel: UserName
          Jenkins role management accepts lower case: username (this user is validated as existing)
          It is possible to log as: UserName, but this use has no roles assigned
          It is also possible to log as: username, this time user has roles assigned and everything is working.

          So, LDAP is case insensitive, but role strategy plugin is case sensitive.
