Hi,

In JNDI implementation, String.toUpperCase() and String.toLowerCase() is
used to compare or hashcode case-insensitive strings. These operations
are locale dependent, and may result in unexpected behaviors in some
locale.[1]

This fix is try to interpret case-insensitive string locale
independently in JNDI component.
