Closed as program error.
Error description
When a restricted user is entered and the database being used is not case sensitive, any other form of the user's name is not restricted. For instance, if the restricted user is Restricted, if the user enters restricted with no upppercase letter or RESTRICTED, they can enter the Web as a non-restricted user.
