Maybe I'm confused, but I see that there is no way to remove the "lowercase only" rule from the username. I have checked the "Allow extended characters in usernames" box, but still I cannot use an uppercase letter in the username. how do I change this?

Hello, I agree this is a problem. This regression was introduced during the migration to PARAM_USERNAME, unfortunately it will need bigger changes in the code flow in the login process and it cannot be fixed in stable branches easily. I hope I will find some time before the 2.7 release to finally fix it.
