Problem/Motivation

I setup a username in config file which was something like 'AppleSSH'. And I tried to connect from a windows host, but I could not.
Connection reset by invalid user AppleSSH 192.168.1.240 port 61433 [preauth]

Took me quite a while to figure out that from the windows client, i had to send in the user name as all lowercase : able to connect it with applessh

Expected behavior

Either config file should not accept a user name with capital letters, OR, the client should be allowed to connect with capital letter username.

Steps to reproduce

Set a username in configuration with some capital letters, and try to connect with that username. Connection will be denied.
