Setting up users

Before you enable card authentication for a server, you must set up smart card users. You can set up a user by associating the user with a distinguished name (DN). You can also set up users in batches by running DXL scripts.

Before you begin

You must have a user name that is associated with a database manager or a user who can create users.

About this task

This task is the first step in the process to set up smart card and Windows user authentication.

Procedure

  1. Log on to Rational® DOORS® as a database manager or a custom user who can create users.
  2. In the database explorer, click Tools > Manage Users to see a list of users.
  3. On the Users tab, select the user and click Edit.
  4. On the Keys tab, click Add.
  5. Enter the user identifier key. You can enter more than one key for a user so that more than one certificate can be used to log on to the same account. Similarly, you can enter the same key for more than one user. For example, you might want one user to have more than one account with different access rights.
  6. Click OK.

What to do next

Set up a DN for the administrator. If you are using public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication, follow the instructions in Associating a DN with the administrator user in PKI. If you are using Microsoft Certificate Store (MCS) authentication, follow the instructions in Associating a DN with the administrator user in MCS. If you are using Windows user authentication, follow the instructions in Associating a DN with the administrator user in Windows user authentication.
