Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Configuration Settings
11.1.7.3 User ID and Domain Conversion
User ID and Domain Case
The case in which the SBR Plug-In will save and retrieve User IDs and domain names will
depend on:
The capabilities and settings of the database used as the data store for the SBR Plug-In.
Your database may require case sensitivity in queries, or may store all data in lower or
upper case.
Configuration settings for the SBR Plug-In.
The SBR Plug-In may be configured to save and retrieve User IDs and domain names in:
Lower case
Upper case
No conversion – data is saved or searched on exactly as entered.
The default configuration setting for the SBR Plug-In when using an embedded database is
Convert to Lower. When using another ODBC database, the default is No Conversion.
Caution
Before changing the configuration setting, you need to make sure that existing
User IDs and Domain names will not be invalidated by the new setting, or that
they are deleted before the setting is changed. For example, if the current
setting is No Conversion and you change to Convert to Lower, a User ID
“TestUser” would become invalid. This Digipass User account must be deleted
before changing the Case Conversion setting.
Typically, this setting should be changed shortly after installation, so you do
not have to deal with a lot of existing Digipass User account and Domain
records.
If you want to move from Convert to Lower to Convert to Upper, or vice versa,
it will be necessary to make the change in two steps, via No Conversion. While
the setting is No Conversion, upper or lower case User IDs and Domains can
be created and deleted as necessary.
This is especially important for the Master Domain name. The default Master
Domain “master” will become invalid if you change to Convert to Upper.
Therefore, you will need to create a new Domain with an upper case name and
make it the Master Domain, while the Case Conversion setting is No
Conversion. See 11.1.7.4 Master Domain for instructions to change the
Master Domain.
To modify the Case Conversion setting for the SBR Plug-In:
1. Select a database from the list.
2. Click on the Advanced Settings button.
3. If you wish the SBR Plug-In to convert User IDs and domains to upper or lower case,
select Convert to Upper or Convert to Lower from the Case drop down list.
To leave User IDs and domains as they are entered, select No Conversion.
