NetLogin MAC Authentication Case Option for User Name and Password

If a RADIUS server is case-sensitive and it expects the user name and password only in lowercase, then MAC Authentication will fail due to the case mismatch, because whenever a MAC address is used as user name and password, by default the MAC address is sent only in uppercase.

ExtremeXOS 30.3 provides an option to send the Network Login (NetLogin) MAC Authentication MAC address in either uppercase or lowercase for the user name or password.

This feature changes the ENTERASYS-MAC-AUTHENTICATION MIB by adding MIB object etsysMACAuthenticationSystemUserNameCase to the group etsysMACAuthenticationSystemGroup.
