The auth module of openser 1.3 (which will be released soon) contains 
two new authentication functions that take any pseudo variables as 
username/password input:

pv_www_authorize(realm):
http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.3.x/auth.html#AEN243

pv_proxy_authorize(realm):
http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/1.3.x/auth.html#AEN279

This should enable you to feed the username's uppercase version to the 
authorize functions.

BTW: It would be nice to have an uppercase/lowercase string 
transformation available.
