Are SPNs case sensitive?

josephdewey

Is setting up an SPN case sensitive, and if so, what parts are case sensitive?

The basic format from documentation is:

setspn -A DynamcisNAV/myname.mydomain.cronus.com:7046 headqtrs\simonm89

But I have the feeling that either the server, or the fully qualified domain name, or the domain or the user in the user account may be case sensitive.

Is there anything that I should know when it comes to case sensitivity of SPNs?

In MS platform it's not case sensitive in other platforms it can be case sensitive. (you have to search) But also keep in my mind that some special chars may be case sensitive. (eg if a computer uses turkish regional settings, uppercase i may cause problems - it has dot on it)
