Authenticating in Rational Focal Point

You can select the authentication method for users in the Authentication attribute on the Manage Users page (Users > Manage Users). IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ supports three methods for user authentication: Standard, Rational Directory Server, and Web Single Sign-On (SSO).
Note: The Rational Directory Server and Web SSO methods are available only if they are enabled through SQL commands in the SQL interface.
Users can use only one authentication method, but can have both Rational Directory Server and Web SSO enabled. You might want to enable both methods so that regular users can authenticate by using Web SSO while administrators authenticate by using Rational Directory Server. Then, administrators can use the Rational Directory Server features to add and manage users, and regular users can log in to the product automatically.
Note: All administrators must have the authentication attribute set to Rational Directory Server. Administrators that have the authentication attribute set to Web Single Sign-On can add users to and members from Rational Focal Point only.
