You must encrypt the Rational ClearQuest administrator
account password because credentials from ClearQuest user accounts
are passed to the Report Server for ClearQuest. Blank passwords are
not supported.
Procedure
- Navigate to the /RCQR/server/WebSphere/classes directory.
- Start the Java runtime to load the com.ibm.rational.security.PasswordCrypt class
and encrypt the password.
The syntax for the command
is:
Usage: java -classpath cqregistry.jar com.ibm.rational.security.PasswordCrypt -encrypt admin-account-password
Your command line should look similar to this, where password is
the password to encrypt:
- On Windows:
%RATIONAL_COMMON%\JAVA5.0\jre\bin\java -classpath cqregistry.jar com.ibm.rational.security.PasswordCrypt -encrypt paSSwOrD
- On the UNIX system and Linux:
$RATIONAL_COMMON/java/jre/bin/java -classpath cqregistry.jar com.ibm.rational.security.PasswordCrypt -encrypt paSSwOrD
The encrypted password is
displayed on the console. For example:
'paSSwOrD' is encrypted to 'dfce3c5374d10c3506d158b5ce7c7039'
- Record the encrypted password, which you will use in a
later step to modify the reportserver.properties file.
