Currently, username translations based on rules are done maintaining the case of the input principal. For example, given the rule

Code Block
"RULE:[

...

2:$1@$0](.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/@.*//"


Code Block
If the source string is joe-

...

qa/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is joe-qa

...


If the source string is JOE-

...

QA/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is JOE-QA

...


If the source string is Joe-

...

QA/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is Joe-QA

However, this may not be desired given how different operating system handle usernames, whereas where some are case-sensitive
and some are case-insensitive. For example, Linux is case-sensitive and Windows is case-insensitive.  To help with this issue, the rule should can support to force the translated result to be all lower case.

Proposed Changes

We propose to extend "sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local.rules"  config rule format/syntax by supporting an optional  "/L" (toLowerCase) at the end of the rule. However, it must be noted that this does not affect how pattern matches on input and therefore that will still be case-sensitive.RULE:[1 Since usernames are locale insensitive strings, we propose to use Locale.ENGLISH for the case conversion

 For example, given the rules

Code Block
"RULE:[2:$1@$0](joe-qa-.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/JOE-QA//L

...

",
"RULE:[

...

2:$1@$0](JOE-QA-.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/JOE-QA-UPPER//L

...

",
"RULE:[

...

2:$1@$0](.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/@.*///L"


Code Block
If the source string is joe-qa-

...

cl1/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result

...

 will be joe-qa

...


If the source string is JOE-QA-

...

cl1/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result

...

 will be joe-qa-upper

...


If the source string is joe_

...

user/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result

...

 will be joe_user

...


If the source string is JOE_

...

USER/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result

...

 will be joe_

...

However, it must be noted that this does not affect how pattern matches on input and therefore that will still be case-sensitive.
