It is for the windows login, and used to be for cygwin to, it changed when i updated cygwin.
Login, localy and remotly dont work without capitalization, but the prompt is lowercase from local terminal, see below :
administrator@[MACHINE NAME] ~
$ ssh administrator@[MACHINE NAME]
administrator@[MACHINE NAME]'s password:
Ctrl+c
administrator@[MACHINE NAME] ~
$ ssh Administrator@[MACHINE NAME]
Last login: Thu Mar 14 14:58:00 2019 from 10.0.0.8
Administrator@[MACHINE NAME] ~
