Silently installing the Rational DOORS Web Access server
Use silent installation to install the Rational DOORS Web
Access server. Silent installation does not support the configuration
options that are available during a standard installation.
The Rational DOORS redirector service
If you want Rational DOORS Web Access users to be able
to use DOORS URLs in the same
way as Rational DOORS users, configure the redirector
service and the Rational DOORS database server. Users can
then specify whether to open DOORS URLs
in a standard client or in the web client. The redirector service
automatically opens the URL in the chosen client.
Changing server and broker ports
Depending on the tasks that you want to carry out, you
can change the configuration of a number of components. You can configure
the Rational DOORS Web Access server port and the broker
port.
Configuring Rational DOORS Web Access to use SSL or TLS
You can configure your Rational DOORS Web Access server to use
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS), which
provide secure communications between servers and clients or browsers.
The configuration involves setting Rational DOORS Web Access to use HTTPS
and enabling the HTTPS connector in the Apache Tomcat server that
comes with the product.
Configuring Rational DOORS Web Access to use smart cards
Rational DOORS Web Access uses public key
infrastructure (PKI) cards, common access cards (CAC), or Windows user authentication to verify that
users are allowed to run Rational DOORS Web Access.
Running Rational DOORS Web Access
When you are ready to use IBM Rational DOORS Web Access, you must start the components
in the correct order.
