Foreman can't report on hosts that has Upercase in its fqdn or certificate.

Description
Using foreman 1.3 and puppet 3.3.1 configured to use ENC.
The client sends the fqdn and foreman picks up the host to certificate match, the frontend displays the hostname as upercase then when you try an edit the host it gives a Host not found error.
Can foreman force all hosts/reports to be lowercase ?
Hello,
I recommend to not have Certname with upercase characters, see http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1168.
Here, for AIX uses, I had to patch facter fqdn to downcase the string before returning it. It was the simplest workaround I found at the time.
while foreman does not allow to create a new host with upper case char (e.g. via the api/ui) it does allow to import report/facts with that, i suggest we fix that in foreman regardless.
Is there a simple fix I can implement for now, until this is fixed long term ? I have about 5 Hosts that I cannot control with Foreman.
