Where to put userlocmap.properties file for User Location mapping
Hey, I am trying to map some user names to particular sites using the userlocmap.properties file. In the CAS Advanced Properties Editor, the entry for this shows:
| Property | Property Name | Property Value | Property Default Value | Comment |
| Client name to Site map file | MAP_UserLocation-map | userlocmap.properties | userlocmap.properties | By default, this file is not included in the installation and should be created by the administrator. |
|---|
The problem is that the entry does not specify where to place this file. I'm assuming that I can put this somewhere in the CAS install directory, but I want to be sure where it needs to go, as I do not want to keep re-starting the customer's CAS server trying to find the correct location. I have searched for reference to this in the DCRUM_Admin, DCRUM_CASInstall, and DCRUM_CASUserGuide documents, but I can't seem to find any reference to this file or property name.
Also, in the userlocmap.properties file, I am using the format:
| userlocmap.properties |
mlewis=Clandeboye,Canterbury,New Zealand gwilki=Napier,Hawkes Bay,New Zealand |
Is it ok to have spaces in the location names in this file?
Any help from someone who has used this successfully before would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Matt

The file should be placed in \config\ sub directory of CAS, so by default it would be: C:\Program Files\Compuware\CAS\config\userlocmap.properties.
Spaces are not a problem as comas separate the fields.
