I see - interoperability issue.
Therefore it becomes imperative on the Windows side to match username
case exactly and we need to explain this.
However I would say that the case of the domain or computername
shouldn't matter?
I just tested with cygwin1.dll (13 Feb 2019) and this worked:
ssh COMPUTERNAME+username@computername
however this didn't work:
ssh computername+username@computername
Am I not understanding something?
Thanks!
Bill
