Bug Report: Web gui produces unusable nuxeo.conf / nuxeo.conf does not accept upper case in DN

Under Admin > Setup > Directory type > LDAP or Multi you are able to set parameters with as DN= and OU= with capitals. The ‘Check Authentication’ button confirms these are valid characters and passes the check.

After saving changes the subsequent nuxeo.conf file these are written to does not work however as it requires them to be lower case for authentication and searches

Could you detail why the parameters need to be lowercase? What breaks and how? LDAP DN representation is usually compared case-insensitively, and we've never had such a report before. Also, the canonical form of the AttributeTypes (DN, CN, OU, etc...) is uppercase.
