– If you choose to not reset user passwords, the server will continue to use the MD5 hash
function algorithm.
Keep the following points in mind when modifying an existing installation:
– When changing
Con
fi
gure for FIPS 140-2 Compliance
from enabled to disabled, the
SHA-1 hash function algorithm will continue to be employed.
– When changing
Con
fi
gure for FIPS 140-2 Compliance
from disabled to enabled, the
parameters outlined in the

website for more information
regarding FIPS 140-2.
Notes
: When FIPS 140-2 is con
fi
gured for IBM SPSS Data Collection products, the applications
adhere to the password protection security protocols that are de
fi
ned on the Interviewer Server.
For example, if the Interviewer Server is con
fi
gured for MD5 security, the client-side applications
will also use MD5 security for password protection, regardless of whether or not the
Con
fi
gure for
FIPS 140-2 Compliance
setting was selected during installation.
When Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is installed on a computer that is running Windows 7
or Windows Server 2008 R2, and FIPS enabled, you cannot run an ASP.NET 3.5-based
application that use a ScriptManager control. You can download a

Single sign-on in a cluster environment

administration. The single sign-on implementation is required when signing onto a cluster results
in the user signing onto all of the cluster’s IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server
Administration instances. Cluster single sign-on allows a Interviewer Server Administration user
to perform activities on each clustered Interviewer Server Administration server without signing
onto each server.
A clustered server installation is con
