But, like it or not, POSIX names are case-sensitive. So with posixGroup entries you have to preserve the case for completely consistent data.
It’s not just posix. If some client were to just consider the memberOf as an opaque string and use this as a key for the group membership on the client side, it would break.
Again, this is a not problem we currently have, but one we are trying to avoid. Most apps we host and use against the LDAP server are OSS apps that probably don’t have LDAP specialists keen to the intricates of the spec, so I wouldn’t expect for example case insensitivity to be on the mind of every developer of those apps.
