+## Enabling LDAP username lowercase
+
+Some LDAP servers, depending on their configurations, can return uppercase usernames. This can lead to several confusing issues like, for example, creating links or namespaces with uppercase names.
+
+GitLab can automatically lowercase usernames provided by the LDAP server by enabling
+the configuration option `lowercase_usernames`. By default, this configuration option is `false`.
+
+**Omnibus configuration**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+  ```ruby
+  gitlab_rails['ldap_servers'] = YAML.load <<-EOS
+  main:
+    # snip...
+    lowercase_usernames: true
+  EOS
+  ```
+
+2. [Reconfigure GitLab](../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes to take effect.
+
+**Source configuration**
+
+1. Edit `config/gitlab.yaml`:
+
+  ```yaml
+  production:
+    ldap:
+      servers:
+        main:
+          # snip...
