Configuring ClearQuest databases for container authentication

Set the password required to enable Rational® ClearQuest® database container authentication.

About this task

You must perform the following steps for each schema repository that you are configuring for container authentication.

Procedure

  1. Run the installutil setssoclientpassword subcommand in a command prompt window to set the password required to enable container authentication:

    installutil setssoclientpassword schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword

    where the variables have the following meanings:
    schemaRepositoryName
    Name of your schema repository.
    adminUserName
    Login name of the ClearQuest administrative user. This user must have Super User privileges and must be designated for ClearQuest authentication.
    adminPassword
    Password for the ClearQuest administrative user.
  2. When prompted, enter a password with a minimum of 30 characters to enable container authentication for the associated ClearQuest databases. You must enclose the password in quotation marks if it has embedded spaces. Expected result: Exit code 0 appears.
    Attention: Record this password because you will need it for later configuration steps.
  3. Run the installutil getssosettings subcommand to check whether the schema repository is enabled for web container authentication:

    installutil getssosettings schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword

    TRUE is returned if the schema repository is enabled for web container authentication. Else, FALSE is returned.

  4. If the schema repository is not enabled for web container authentication, run the installutil enablessologin subcommand to enable it:

    installutil enablessologin schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword
