Remember-the-password feature and FIPS 140-2 approved encryption

This topic discusses the remember-the-password feature of the Rational® ClearQuest® Client and ClearQuest Client for Eclipse and how to ensure that your deployment is using FIPS 140-2 compliant data encryption.

The remember-the-password feature on the Connect dialog box of the Rational ClearQuest Client and ClearQuest Client for Eclipse allows passwords to be saved across user sessions. To use the remember-the-password feature and be FIPS 140-2 approved, all Rational ClearQuest Client and ClearQuest Client for Eclipse computers must be configured to use the IBM JRE with the IBM Java JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension) FIPS providers enabled to use the FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms AES 128-bit and SHA-256

Disable and re-enable the remember-the-password feature using the installutil setmasterproperty subcommand.
