Settings for User Administration
The Web.config file for User Administration, located in c:\InetPub\wwwroot\SPSSMR\UserAdministration, can be used to control the following aspects of the activity's behavior:
▪validation of user names, role names, and passwords
▪display of the User Properties options
▪removal of user and role access rights from DPM when users and roles are deleted.
User name validation
User Administration lets you choose any names you like for user names as long as they adhere to the Windows standards for user names. This means that they must not contain punctuation (apart from a dot), symbols (a \ is valid in NT user names), or space characters. User Administration has two keys that it uses to ensure that the names that you type are valid Windows users names or email addresses.
The SPSS_UserNameRegEx1 setting defines the first regular expression that User Administration uses to check that user names are valid Windows names. If this key is not defined, then the following definition is used:
<appSettings>
<add key="SPSS_UserNameRegEx1"
value="^[\p{L}\p{Mn}\p{N}\p{Pc}\p{Pd}]+\\*[\p{L}\p{Mn}\p{N}\p{Pc}\p{Pd}.]+$" />
</appSettings>
This definition accepts user names that contain any combination of the following:
▪uppercase or lowercase letters, including accented or similarly modified letters
▪digits
▪underscores and hyphens.
This can be followed by \ (backslash), and then any combination of these characters again.
The second expression is defined in the SPSS_UserNameRegEx2 key and is used to validate email addresses used as user names. If this key is not defined, the following default is used:
<appSettings>
<add key="SPSS_UserNameRegEx2"
value="^[\p{L}]+([-+.][\p{L}]+)*@[\p{L}]+([-.][\p{L}]+)*\.[\p{L}]+([-.][\p{L}]+)*$" />
</appSettings>
User names are accepted if they match one or other of these expressions. If you want to allow only one type of validation, make the two expressions identical.
To allow other types of names, such as names containing certain symbols, or to disallow numbers in user names, you can define your own values for these keys. For information on how to write regular expressions of this type, see, for example:
Role name validation
The SPSS_RoleNameRegEx key defines a regular expression that can be used to validate role names. If the key is not defined, it defaults to the following:
<appSettings>
<add key=SPSS_RoleNameRegEx" value="^[\p{L}\p{Mn}\p{N}\p{Pc}]+$" />
</appSettings>
For information on how to write regular expressions of this type, see, for example:
Password validation
The
SPSS_PasswordRegEx property defines a regular expression that will be used for validating users’ passwords. See
Password validation.

Displaying User Properties options
User Administration has a User Properties menu point that allows you to specify user properties for different roles. To suppress this option, change the value of the DISABLE_USERPROPERTIES key from false to true:
<appSettings>
<add key="DISABLE_USERPROPERTIES" value="true" />
</appSettings>

Deleting access rights from DPM
When you delete a user or role from UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin, the access rights defined for that user or role in DPM are also deleted. If you do not want this to happen, add the following entry to the User Administration Web.config file:
<appSettings>
<add key"=PurgeAccessRightsFromDPM" value="true" />
</appSettings>
