Dave Ward 3238ca154a ALF-3604: Correct case-sensitivity issues in LDAP sync
- User names are now brought in line with the case of the LDAP directory during sync (in case the UID attribute is case sensitive)
- User names are now compared according to Alfresco's case sensitivity setting
- Group name comparisions are still case sensitive
- Added unit test to ensure correct behaviour
