Check if the configuration is correct

...

The first issue is cased by the user login in. For instance, John Stevens LDAP account is JStevens but he logs in as jstevens, he will be recognized by case insensitive LDAP and thus granted access but will not be recognized as a designer or as a tenant admin by . To solve this, set the property com.frevvo.security.ldap.ignoreCase to true.

To prevent issues you could always login to  using lower case jstevens. LDAP will grant access as it is case insensitive and  will know that you may have the designer or admin special permission. However users can forget to do this. To force this configure 's web.xml parameter frevvo.login.userid.case by adding the <context-param> lines you see below. You can specify a value of either lower or upper.

<context-param>     
    <param-name>frevvo.login.userid.case</param-name>     
    <param-value>lower</param-value>     
    <description>Force all login user ids to upper or lower case</description> 
</context-param>
