I was looking for a simple way to resolve the case issue.

This makes sense. My suggestion may be a bit too simplistic.

Sounds good. Thank you for thinking about this problem.

I understand the username case needing to match. This is easily
instructed on the Windows side - just make sure the case matches and
it will work.

I think this is the difficulty: When a computer name is not uppercase,
how do we find out the correct case when we specify an authority name
(before the +)?

(A domain name is easier: We can translate name -> SID -> name and get
the correct case.)
