Step 6: Set the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST

After you validate the LDAP settings of your database set, use the installutil command with the setauthenticationalgorithm subcommand to enable LDAP authentication by changing the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST.

After you validate the LDAP settings of your database set, use the installutil command with the setauthenticationalgorithm subcommand to enable LDAP authentication by changing the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST. When the algorithm is set to CQ_FIRST, Rational ClearQuest® searches the Rational® ClearQuest user database for a user profile record whose Login name field value matches the user name that the user entered in the Login window. If Rational ClearQuest finds a match and the user profile record is marked for Rational ClearQuest authentication, Rational ClearQuest performs traditional Rational ClearQuest authentication. If Rational ClearQuest finds a match and the user profile record is marked for LDAP authentication, or if Rational ClearQuest does not find a match, Rational ClearQuest attempts to authenticate the user against LDAP.
