Thanks for the explanation -- this is understandable.

In that case, the former arrangement before the patch was preferable.

That is: For DOMAIN+username or COMPUTERNAME+username, the part before
the "+" must be UPPERCASE, but the username is not case-sensitive.

IMO This is the simplest and most straightforward arrangement.

Thanks!
