MATLAB: Can an options file be configured to ignore case sensitivity of usernames

MATLAB

Can an options file be configured to ignore case sensitivity of usernames?

Best Answer

The options file cannot be configured to ignore case for usernames in INCLUDE and EXCLUDE lines, or any other lines which allocate products. However, you can configure the options file such that case is ignored within groups of users, and then assign those groups to products.
First, set GROUPCASEINSENSITIVE to on and place it on the top of the file:
GROUPCASEINSENSITIVE ON
Then, specify a group name. Groups can be any size, so groups with a single user are valid.

Lastly, add the groups to your INCLUDE, EXCLUDE, or any other lines that allocate product:
INCLUDE MATLAB GROUP matlab_users
INCLUDE SIMULINK GROUP matlab_users
INCLUDE Curve_Fitting_Toolbox GROUP matlab_users
The end result should look like this:
GROUPCASEINSENSITIVE ON
GROUP matlab_users jane
INCLUDE MATLAB GROUP matlab_users
INCLUDE SIMULINK GROUP matlab_users
INCLUDE Curve_Fitting_Toolbox GROUP matlab_users
Once these modifications are made, stop and start the network license manager for these changes to take effect.
