      Add user1 to a filesystem realm (lowercase 'u'):

      /subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=ApplicationFsRealm/identity=user1:add()
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=ApplicationFsRealm/identity=user1:set-password(clear={password="password1"})
/subsystem=elytron/filesystem-realm=ApplicationFsRealm/identity=user1:add-attribute(name=groups, value=["Users","Role1"])

      Try to log into application (mapped to the filesystem realm) as User1 (uppercase 'U') - it fails on Linux, but it passes on Windows.

      User names are case sensitive on Linux but not on Windows when using the Elytron FileSystemSecurityRealm

      This is IMO a security issue. And it also affects platform certifications.

      If this is by any chance an expected behavior, then it has to be emphasized in documentation and in the domain model too (description of file-system-realm)
