[QUESTION] Are items in TokenCache case insensitive?

[Jeffery-Wasty]

A user is proposing a change for the MSSQL-JDBC driver, where retrieval from cache is case-insensitive, as opposed to case-sensitive as we have it now. My question is, are items stored in the cache also case-insensitive? Using the example the user provides, would [email protected] be stored as [email protected] by MSAL4J? Thanks!

Hello @Jeffery-Wasty : Items in the cache are case sensitive. MSAL Java caches data taken directly from the tokens, and when looking up cached info we just check if information provided matches what we have cached and return the exact info we got from tokens/app devs/users/etc.

So, things like usernames or emails would depend on what is in the ID token that the token service gives us. For example, if the ID token has [email protected] in the 'preferred_username' field, we'd cache it with the capital 'J' and 'C', and we would return [email protected] when you call the getAccounts() method.

I'm confused about this then:

microsoft-authentication-library-for-java/msal4j-sdk/src/main/java/com/microsoft/aad/msal4j/TokenCache.java

Line 468 in db2e7a5

accountCacheEntity.userAssertionHash().equalsIgnoreCase(userAssertionHash);

. It looks like what is being fetched uses a case-insensitive match?
