installutil setauthenticationalgorithm

The installutil setauthenticationalgorithm subcommand controls whether Rational® ClearQuest® supports both Rational® ClearQuest® and LDAP authentication or only Rational® ClearQuest® authentication for the specified database set.

Synopsis

: installutil setauthenticationalgorithm dbset_name cq_login cq_password algorithm

Description

Rational® ClearQuest® lets you specify a mixture of users authenticated for Rational® ClearQuest® and LDAP. Specify the CQ_FIRST algorithm if the database set contains both types of authenticated users. Specify CQ_ONLY if the database set contains only users authenticated for Rational® ClearQuest®.

Running this command to change the authentication algorithm does not affect the sessions of users currently logged in to Rational® ClearQuest®. Rational® ClearQuest® performs authentication only when the user logs in.

Options and Arguments

algorithm

One of the following values:

CQ_FIRST: Rational® ClearQuest® searches the Rational® ClearQuest® user database for a user profile record whose Login 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.
CQ_ONLY: (Default) Rational® ClearQuest® attempts to authenticate users against the Rational® ClearQuest® database set only. Rational® ClearQuest® does not attempt LDAP authentication.

Examples

In the following example, the installutil sethauthenticationalgorithm subcommand instructs Rational® ClearQuest® to use Rational® ClearQuest® authentication first.
