Setting up users

Before you enable Windows user authentication for a server, you must set up 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. The user identifier key that is used in this task is the full distinguished name (DN) that identifies the user in a directory service, such as Microsoft Active Directory. For example, the DN for user1 in the example.com domain might be CN=user1,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com.

About this task

This task is the first step in the process to set up users for 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. Follow the instructions in Associating a distinguished name with the administrator user account.
