username case-sensitivity

Every now and then I get an authentication error when our scripts renew
a domain. I then login to the RWI and check that I've got the username
and password for that domain correct.

Invariably, I do ... but the username in the RWI is in all lowercase
letters, while the username I store (and which I assigned originally)
is mixed case. E.g.

        I have: aDfJSklFj0934lKJ

        RWI has: adfjsklfj0934lkj

Would that be what's causing the authentication errors? Should I be
casting the username to lowercase before sending it?
