Basically, when pam_mkhomedir.so is invoked, it has a substitution
template that it fills in with the username. Apparently, it is taking
the input value from PAM as this substitution value, but if you happen
to be logging in the first time from an alias (anything other than the
canonical version, which is the lower-case one in this example), it
creates the directory with that instead of the canonical one.

- From the AD provider manpage
(http://jhrozek.fedorapeople.org/sssd/1.11.1/man/sssd-ad.5.html):
"Users, groups and other entities served by SSSD are always treated as
case-insensitive in the AD provider for compatibility with Active
Directory's LDAP implementation."

- From the sssd.conf manpage
(http://jhrozek.fedorapeople.org/sssd/1.11.1/man/sssd.conf.5.html):


case_sensitive (boolean)

    Treat user and group names as case sensitive. At the moment, this
option is not supported in the local provider.

    Default: True



Essentially, using 'id_provider = ad' implies 'case_sensitive = False'
