  - 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.

Configuring restricted mode

You must have the Super User privilege to restrict access to the Rational® ClearQuest® Web application.

Procedure

In the Rational® ClearQuest® Web banner, click Site Administration > Configuration.
The Security Options page opens.
Complete the restricted mode configuration fields. For a description of each field, see Security Options page.

Results

Settings on the Security Options page take effect immediately; you do not have to restart the server. However, only subsequent Rational® ClearQuest® Web application sessions reflect these changes. Existing web application sessions continue to use the settings that were in effect when the sessions started.
