We are in process of changing the login names for all employess. Is there a way to edit the archived users list file (userlist.dua).
I want to be able to edit this file, change something and restore it back. is this possible?

Probably would not be a good ideal to edit the files on the server -- safer approach is create a dxl script and run on a client to make the changes.

To clarify Ron: do NOT restore a dua on a production database. If you can successfully do that without corrupting something serious then I'm a monkey's uncle. No laughing. Create a local database on your client. Read the dua. Make changes. Save the user list.

Be advised that when you restore the dua you reset all the users and all the passwords, including the Administrator's password. I don't know what happens vis-a-vis the fact that the user you login as does NOT exist in the dua. Probably you can only restore a dua as the "Administrator". Anyway, after saving the dua I'd be sure to explicitely set some database manager's password so you can log back in.

The other (and recommended) alternative is to only do this on a temporary database that you erase when finished; where "erase" means delete all the files off your client (the "hierarchy" and the "conf" folders, their subordinates, and their sibling files).

thanks guys for the quick response.
I manually changed all the user names in the production database.
Another question regarding to the usernames. While editing the username, I also added the System User name which matches each users novell login names so the users dont have to type in their user names everytime. It looks like the usernames in DOORS are case sensitive, but the Systemusername under detail tab is not case sensitive. Is there way to make the user names as not case sensitive?

No, DOORS user names are case sensitive and I don't think you can change that.

But, if you are using system usernames, then the user will not have to type their names anyway.

When he says "use system user names" I think he means "get folks to fill in that info in their Options" and does not mean "Use System User Names DB Option to bypass the login screen".

sorry for the confusion, I will try and clear it up
My intentions were that the users will not have to fill in their user names so I added their system user names.

The situation we run into is that when a user is using a Lab PC becuase those PCs have a common system user names. In thi case, they'll have to remember their user names (upper care or lower case letters).
The user names now have been changed to our email ID (ex. Daxesh.Patel@TRW.COM). This email ID list was exported from the LDAP server, which has the upper and lower case all mixed up. for example some users have will have Daxesh.Patel@trw.com or daxesh.patel@TRW.COM. The LDAP server is not case sensitive where DOORS user names are. I changed the user names in DOOS to match LDAP and then change them again to all lower case.
Currently we cannot get the LDAP to sync with DOORS.

hope this clears up some things.


Thanks for you help
