Email or Username on Sign-in is Case-Sensitive

Woo-hoo! We went live with mojoPortal! Bye-bye DNN, and good riddance! http://www.cvacoop.com.

  • Windows 7 / Windows 2008 R2 SP2, 64-bit​
  • IIS7
  • PostgreSQL version 9.2.3, 64-bit
  • ​.NET 4.0
  • mojoPortal 2.3.9.8

Sign-in user name or e-mail address is case sensitive. If any letter in the user name or e-mail address does not match the case used when the account was created, then sign-in fails.

Our company's general policy on account creation is to set cases on the e-mail like this: First.Last@company.com. And accordingly, our users tend to mix up the cases when they enter their e-mail addresses in various places. So we are getting calls and e-mails that users can't sign in.

Password, of course, should be case-sensitive. But not the user name or e-mail used.

To see this, click the link at the top, then go to Sign-In. Try changing the case of any letter in the e-mail.

  • e-mail: test@cvacoop.com
  • password: test

Re: Email or Username on Sign-in is Case-Sensitive

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report. I agree when using email for login the case entered by the user should not matter. I will fix this before the next release of mojoPortal.

Congrats on launching your new site!

Best,

Joe

In the mean time, if you can edit the pgsql stored procedure mp_users_selectbyemail you could update it to lower the input param and compare to the loweredemail field instead of the email field to solve the problem.

Re: Email or Username on Sign-in is Case-Sensitive

Thanks, Joe. I added the lower(value) function to the e-mail field and e-mail input as you said.

Works great.
