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