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

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
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.
```
cd RationalHome\clearquest\cqweb\bin
cqrpc.exe -sso_password ssoPassword
```
```
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.
Rename the sso.properties.temp file to sso.properties.

Results

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