EDMuserName

The maximum length of an EDMuserName is extended to 320 characters to be the same as for an e-mail address. The legal characters in an EDMuserName can be extended by the set of characters defined in the EDMconfigVariable

When creating a new EDMuser the default password will be the equal to the maximum 24 first characters in the actual EDMuserName, except all uppercase letters will be converted to lowercase in the password. (An EDMuserName is case insensitive!)

EDM_EXTENDED_NAME_CHARACTERS.

The setting of this EDMconfigVariable must be done before an EDMdatabase is created to have any effect, i.e., the defined set of EDM_EXTENDED_NAME_CHARACTERS in an EDMdatabase cannot be changed after it is created. The following character values are always illegal in an EDMuserName. 1 - 32, '*', 127 - 160, 255. When an EDMuser is created it's default password will be the same as the EDMuserName. But since the maximum length of an EDMpassword is 24, only the first 24 characters in an EDMuserName will be the default password for EDMuserName with length greater than 24 characters.

EDMuserName and SSO

The following 2 EDM configuration variables are introduced to control how the SSO functionality should work in an EDMserver:

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_o_EDM_LOGON_METHOD'.

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_o_EDM_USER_CREATION_METHOD'.

NOTE: The format of an EDMuserName when automatically creating EDMuser by "SSO logon" is equal to AD "user Principal Name": i,e, "userName"@"domainName"

Example: myname@somewhere.com

When such EDMuserName format is used in a "manual" EDMuser creation, remember to update the EDM_EXTENDED_NAME_CHARACTERS configuration variable. The "automatically EDMuser creation in the SSO logon process" will update this configuration variables as required.

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_ver_changes_from_text'.

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_ver_EDMsix.2.100.09'.

The syntax of the password must have minimum 7 characters and maximum 24 characters. In addition, the password must consist of at least a mix of:

one lowercase letter
one uppercase letter
one digit
one non alphanumeric character

The password syntax is only checked when a password is defined, hence existing databases can be used without any modifications. When a new user is created, the default password is equal to the user name (max 24 characters). In an EDMserver system, no operations except for define password, can be performed until the user has defined a new password (redefined the “create user” password). There is a new configuration variable

EDM_RELAXED_PASSWORD

that can be set to TRUE to enable “old password syntax”. Setting EDM_RELAXED_PASSWORD = TRUE should only be used in “test system”, never in customer installations.
