Configure FIPS 140-2 approved data encryption
ClearQuest® supports FIPS 140-2 approved
data encryption.
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 is the U.S. government computer security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 includes a list of approved cryptographic algorithms and describes approved modes of operation.
You can configure a ClearQuest deployment
to be FIPS 140-2 approved by performing the following tasks:
- Use a FIPS 140-2 approved LDAP server.
- Disable the remember-the-password feature of the ClearQuest Client or use a FIPS 140-2 certified JRE algorithm.
- Upgrade the schema repository and associated user databases to feature level 7.
- Configure all ClearQuest users to be LDAP authenticated
