Configuring Rational® ClearQuest® Web server for container authentication

Configure Rational® ClearQuest® Web server for container authentication.

About this task

The following variables are used in path names:
RationalHome
Directory where Rational® files are installed.
ssoPassword
Container authentication password. You created and recorded this password in the previous topic, Configuring Rational® ClearQuest® databases for container authentication.

Procedure

  1. You must add the Rational® ClearQuest® home directory to the Path system variable if Rational® ClearQuest® Web server is running on a Windows™ host; otherwise, you cannot run the cqrpc command in the next step. Update the Path variable by using either of the following methods:
    • Use the Control Panel:
      1. Click Start > Control Panel > System.
      2. Click the Advanced tab.
      3. Click Environment Variables.
      4. Select the Path variable in the System variables list and click Edit.
      5. Add RationalHome\ClearQuest to the Variable value field.
    • Open a command window and enter the following command:

      set path=%path%;RationalHome\ClearQuest

  2. Run the cqrpc command in a command window to generate a container authentication password for Rational® ClearQuest® Web server. The cqrpc command is a component of Rational® ClearQuest® Web server.
    Windows
    cd RationalHome\clearquest\cqweb\bin
cqrpc.exe -sso_password ssoPassword
    UNIX Linux
    cd RationalHome/clearquest/cqweb/bin
cqrpc -sso_password ssoPassword
    The cqrpc command displays the encrypted password, which you will use in the next topic, Configuring the Rational® ClearQuest® Web client for container authentication. The encrypted password is also written to the sso.properties.temp file.
  3. Rename the sso.properties.temp file to sso.properties.

Results

You created the Rational® ClearQuest® Web server container authentication properties file.
