It may possibly be related to this, but this is marked as fixed for 4.3: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/5456

I'm on 4.4.0-14.el7.centos.7

A user had their lastname entry added with the wrong case.  I attempted to update it by changing the case, got an error like this:

[Wed Sep 06 17:46:08.010202 2017] [:error] [pid 15253] ipa: INFO: [jsonserver_session] aclark@DEV.REDACTED.NET: user_mod/1(u'pboppe', sn=u'Boppe', version=u'2.213'): DatabaseError

I changed it to something else entirely, then changed it to the correct case.

This happened on attributes: "lastname", "fullname", "displayname", "initials", "gecos".  I didn't test it elsewhere.

Is there a ticket already for this or should I create a new one?  I don't want to create work for the IPA devs :)

Thanks,

Anthony Clark
