[Unity-idm-discuss] Changed behaviour of translation profile configuration

[Sander A. <sa....@fz...>]

Dear Krzysztof,

we updated last week from unity 2.8.2 to unity 3.2.2. After this update
we got an issue with one of our connected IdPs.

We had, which was an error on our site, configured the authenticator to
used the translation profile "marineID" but created the translation
profile "MarineID" within unity GUI. This mismatch worked fine until
unity 2.8.2. and it seems that this configuration was case-insensitive.

After the update we got an ticket that the login is not working and we
started to investigate. After the error about unknown translation
profile "marineID" we found the problem quite fast and changed the
configuration from "marineID" into "MarineID" and reloaded the
authenticator. Sadly the problem and error message kept the same and we
decided to restart unity (load config from files instead of database)
but the problem and error was still the same.

Only changing the configuration and translation profile into "marineID"
solved the issue. Because renaming a translation profile in the GUI
(does not yes exists as file) and having two files with the same name
(one starting with a capital, one with a lower letter) is not possible
we had to copy the old one, remove it, and copy the copy to the old one
with lower name.

Was it intended to make the translation profile matching between
configuration and existing profiles case sensitive? Was it intended
that the translation profiles need to start with a small letter?

In case both was intended can you please update the documentation to
hint to that fact that translation profiles must start with lower
letters and can you highlight such changes where you switch from
(probably unwanted) case-insensitive to case-sensitiv configurations? 

Best regards,
Sander
