    - Monitoring Rational® ClearQuest® Web server
      There are several ways to determine whether Rational® ClearQuest® Web server is working correctly and troubleshoot issues.
      - Monitoring Rational® ClearQuest® Web server with the Site Monitoring window
        Use the Site Monitoring window to monitor Rational® ClearQuest® Web server activity.
      - Monitoring the Rational® ClearQuest® RPC servers
        In addition to monitoring the Rational® ClearQuest® RPC servers by using the Site Monitoring page of the Site Configuration window, you can validate the startup and functioning of the RPC servers by viewing the Rational ClearQuest Web log files and by using a command-prompt window.
      - Configuring logging
        Use logging to monitor and debug Rational® ClearQuest® Web server and application issues.
  - Configuring Rational® ClearQuest® Web with the Site Configuration window
    You customize many Rational® ClearQuest® Web server and application settings by using the Site Configuration window.
  - Customizing security
    Rational® ClearQuest® Web provides security that affects only the behavior of the Rational ClearQuest Web application.
  - Rational® ClearQuest® and single sign-on
    You can configure Rational® ClearQuest® for single sign-on with Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA), OpenID Connect, and Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0 (SAML2).
  - Configuring strong authentication with smart cards
    Smart card authentication is appropriate for deployments where security requirements dictate stronger authentication than using a Rational® ClearQuest® user name and password.
  - Configuring and maintaining full-text search
    Some administrative tasks are required to configure and maintain the Rational® ClearQuest® full-text search feature.
  - Configuring and customizing the type-ahead feature
    The type-ahead feature enables users to use a choice-list drop-down as a search field to find and select items in the choice-list. This feature must be configured before it can be used. It can also be customized.
  - Configuring e-mail transports
    You can configure Rational® ClearQuest® Web to use either the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or MAPI (Messaging Application Programming Interface) mail transport protocol.
  - Configuring integrations for Collaborative Lifecycle Management
    You can configure and use the Rational® ClearQuest® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations with Rational ClearQuest to connect the work of all team members. The Rational ClearQuest solution for CLM integrations, which are based on Jazz™ technology and the open architecture of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC), include IBM® Rational Team Concert™, IBM Rational Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS® Next Generation. Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations with Rational ClearQuest Web are also referred to as the Rational ClearQuest Bridge.
  - Managing OSLC integrations in a load-balanced deployment
    By default, Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) configuration settings for Rational® ClearQuest® are stored in files on the server. In a load-balanced environment, you can store these settings as master properties in the schema repository for shared use by all the servers in the deployment.
  - Using Rational® ClearQuest® to prefill OSLC 2.0-linked records
    You can configure Rational® ClearQuest® to prefill field values when opening the creation dialogs for associated OSLC 2.0 projects. When a creation dialog displays, values for designated fields in the new record are initialized using content from configured fields of the initiating Rational ClearQuest record.
