Step 6: Set the authentication algorithm to CQ_FIRST

Procedure

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.
