We are using the LDAP plugin to authenticate the users against MS Active Directory.

If I test the LDAP settings we get this warning message (see also the picture: Dn_inconsistent_example.png):

Dn inconsistent (login cn=User Xyz,ou=Employees,ou=Example AG,dc=example,dc=com versus lookup CN=User Xyz,OU=Employees,OU=Example AG,DC=example,DC=com)

In your code I saw you just string compare the both 'inputs'. Is it important for other LDAP backends (like OpenLDAP) to do this check case sensitive? Is "DC=", "OU=" and so on case sensitive? I don't know the details here.

What are the implications for running Jenkins when I get such a message?
