Configuring CM Server for container authentication

Configure Change Management Server (CM Server) for container authentication.

About this task

The following variables are used in path names in this topic:
RATIONAL_HOME
Directory where Rational® files are installed.
sso-password
Container authentication password. You created and recorded this password in the previous topic, Configuring ClearQuest® databases for container authentication.

Procedure

  1. You must add the ClearQuest home directory to the Path system variable if CM Server is running on a Windows® host, else you cannot run the cqrpc command in the next step. Update the Path variable by using either of the following methods:
    • Use the Control Panel:
      1. Click Start > Control Panel > System.
      2. Click the Advanced tab.
      3. Click Environment Variables.
      4. Select the Path variable in the System variables list and click Edit.
      5. Add %RATIONAL_HOME%\ClearQuest to the Variable value field.
    • Open a command prompt window and enter the following command:

      set path=%path%;%RATIONAL_HOME%\clearquest

  2. Run the cqrpc command in a command prompt window to generate a container authentication password for CM Server. The cqrpc command is a component of CM Server.
    On Windows:
    cd %RATIONAL_HOME%\common\CM\bin
    cqrpc.exe -sso_password sso-password
    On the UNIX® system and Linux®:
    cd $RATIONAL_HOME/common/CM/bin
    cqrpc -sso_password sso-password
    The cqrpc command displays the encrypted password, which you use in the next topic, Configuring the ClearQuest Web client for container authentication. The encrypted password is also written to the sso.properties.temp file.
  3. Rename the sso.properties.temp file to sso.properties. You have created CM Server container authentication properties file.
