I have noticed this a while ago already.

Let's say my admin account is called "admin".
Now, I log in with "admin" and my password, so I can customize my dashboard a bit.
Looking good:

When I log out now and log back in with different casing, let's say "ADmin", I have a different dashboard:

I have checked around in the Icingaweb2 source code and tried to get a fix for it...
All I managed to do was forcing the user to log in with lowercase all the time.

I should mention that I'm using MySQL as a backend, which allows different casings for the username.
I've talked to someone in the Icinga IRC and he can't even log in to his user if the name is in a different casing. He doesn't use MySQL, though.

Thanks for the report.

This may affect preferences stored in INI files and other navigation items too.

Best,
