You could try the following. I haven't studied the member adaptor in
detail to be certain it will work, but I think it's worth a try.

In the definition of __ldap_load_members(self), you will see these two
lines

            for maddr in attrs['mail']:
                self.__member_map[maddr.strip()] = mail


They are indented with tabs which is not good, but it will be OK as
long as you preserve the existing tabs. I have replaced the tabs with
some spaces for this email, but what you need to do is just insert the
string '.lower()' in the second line so it becomes

                self.__member_map[maddr.strip().lower()] = mail

without changing the tabbing.
