The administrator sets up the system to use smart card authentication by associating a user or users with a certificate, which is known as a user identifier key. The administrator associates certificates with cards, and then configures the system with command-line switches. For more information, see Configuring smart cards and certificates.
When you access Rational DOORS Web Access, instead of logging in with a user name and a password, you must use your smart card.
Rational DOORS Web Access also supports Windows user authentication. Windows users log in to Windows and when they start Rational DOORS Web Access, Rational DOORS Web Access checks to verify that they are allowed access. If users pass the verification, they are allowed access. Usually, they do not need to enter a PIN number. For more information, see Configuring Windows user authentication.
