Manually Adding Users

1. Open the User Administration screen, then go to Users and click Add User.

2. Enter the new user’s information (username and password are required) when prompted. 

   User credentials enable Parasoft code analysis and testing tools (i.e., C/C++test, dotTEST, Jtest, and SOAtest) to connect to License Server. These tools can run in an IDE or on the command line. If run from the command line, characters are limited to alphanumeric characters and hyphens for passwords. Refer to your Parasoft tool's documentation for additional information.

   

3. Click Create to add the user to the database.

Case Sensitivity

By default, user names are case sensitive (e.g., "JohnSmith", "johnSmith", and "johnsmith" are all different users). You can change user login case sensitivity by setting the <case-sensitive> property in the PSTRootConfig.xml configuration file to false and restarting the License Server. The file is located in the <LSS_DATA>/conf/ directory. Note: if you are using the WAR deployment on a custom Tomcat server, the file is located in the <TOMCAT>/webapps/pstsec/conf directory and you need to restart Tomcat instead.

<root-config>/<case-sensitive>false</case-sensitive>

This setting affects all functionality related to user names.

Configuring User Permissions and Group Membership

After adding users to the database, you can configure their permissions and group membership (see Configuring User Permissions and Groups).

Importing Users

You can configure User Administration to connect to your LDAP server so that you can easily import users from your directories. See Configuring LDAP for details.

1. Open the User Administration screen, then go to Users and click the delete button (trash icon) next to the user you want to delete.
2. Click Confirm when prompted to finish deleting the user.
