Set up your system to use two-factor authentication. Two-factor
authentication is a security process where your users provide two
means of identification to authenticate to the server.
About this task
All of the configuration tasks for two-factor authentication
are carried out in the Rational Directory
Administration tool.
Note: When you set up two-factor authentication,
make sure that you set up an entry in the Rational Directory Administration tool for
the Administrator user. The Administrator user cannot log in to Rational DOORS without the additional entry.
Procedure
- Click Change in the Directory Configuration
area. You see the Change Directory Configuration window,
with DOORS Local Directory selected.
- Select Rational Directory Service,
and complete the fields as instructed in the Help.
- Log out of Rational DOORS.
- Log in to the Rational Directory
Administration tool, and enable two-factor authentication. For
information about enabling two-factor authentication see the Rational Directory Administration
Help.
Results
Rational DOORS is now set up to use two-factor
authentication. The next time your users log in, they will need to
authenticate against Rational DOORS and the Rational Directory Server before they can
access the client.
Additional read-only fields are added to the
Login
Policy tab of the database properties that let you know
how two-factor authentication has been configured:
- Use additional authentication
This field
is selected to show that two-factor authentication is in use.
- Check system login credentials
If this
field is selected, two-factor authentication is set up to make sure
that the user logging in to Rational DOORS is the same as the user
that is logged in to the operating system.
