Configuring container authentication for ClearQuest Web

Configure container authentication for Rational® ClearQuest® Web so that when a user navigates to the logon screen, the user name and password are populated from the client certificate.

Container authentication bypasses some of the standard ClearQuest logon security steps. You must perform the following steps to configure container authentication for ClearQuest Web. Steps 2 and 3 ensure that the ClearQuest Web interface trusts the identity of the user only when operating in an environment enabled for container authentication. The ClearQuest core bypasses password checking only when called from a ClearQuest Web client that has container security enabled. Standard logon processing cannot be bypassed from either a script or any other ClearQuest client user interface.
