The danish/norwegian letter "Ø" is not handled correctly

Question

Hello

The danish/norwegian letter "Ø" is not handled correctly in Adaxes.
Even if regexp is set to ^[A-Z] , it's still possible for the user to enter and use the letter "Ø" in their initials and User logon name.

The letters are handled correctly in powershell scripts, so as for now, we use scripts to ensure that the letters are not used in initials or user logon names.

Unicodes are:
- "Ø" = U+00d8 (upper case)
- "ø" = U+00f8 (lower case)

- Thanks

Hello,

Regular expressions are handled correctly in Adaxes. The issue is actually in your regular expression :)

The regexp that you have checks only the 1st character, all other characters are ignored. Also, it allows only UPPERCASE letters. You can use one of the following regular expressions:

• ^[A-Z]+$ - check all characters, allow only UPPERCASE letters;
• ^[a-zA-Z]+$ - check all characters, allow both uppercase and lowercase letters;
• ^[A-Z]{1}[a-z]+$ - check all characters, the 1st character must be upper case;
• ^[A-Z]{1}[a-z ]+$ - the same as above, but also allows a blank space.
