Error Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error Description
Lotus Mobile Connect 6.1.4

There has been a report where, in some cases, end user's
logging in will be failed and it looks like the problem is
related to the case of the user account which is entered. The
problem is not reported to affect all of the user base, but LMC
development feels that they could change the bad password
detector to be case insensitive to address the problem.
