User AuthenticationMode

The following User object functions work with the AuthenticationMode on a per user basis. They can be used to configure authentication for each user.

SetCQAuthentication(new_password);
Sets the user account AuthenticationMode to CQ_AUTHENTICATION which uses the traditional Rational® ClearQuest® type of user authentication.
SetLDAPAuthentication(LDAP_login_name);
Sets the user account AuthenticationMode to LDAP_AUTHENTICATION which authenticates against an LDAP server. The schema repository must be configured for LDAP authentication.
GetAuthenticationMode( );
Returns the current AuthenticationMode of the user.

Note: The User authentication functions are valid independently of the setting of the AuthenticationAlgorithm for the schema repository as a whole.

Setting the AuthenticationMode for a user impacts the passwords for that ClearQuest user account.

See SetCQAuthentication and SetLDAPAuthentication.

In version 2003.06.14, new methods were implemented for retrieving a user login name that support Rational ClearQuest user names and LDAP login names. See New methods for retrieving user login information.
