[PATCH] Don't ucase configured realm

[Matthias Dieter Wallnöfer]

It's not only this. Sometimes we divide correctly between DNS domainname 
(szRealm_lower) and realm (szRealm_upper) but not always (e.g. we could 
take an upcased DNS domainame as the realm). It is a huge task to review 
and check all occurences of those calls. Plus, since you keep the realm 
case-sensitive that means you are not really standard-AD compatible.
