Configuring the Rational ClearQuest Web client for container authentication

Configure the Rational® ClearQuest® Web client for container authentication.

About this task

The following variables are used in path names:

WAShome: Directory where WebSphere® Application Server is installed
cqwebProfile: Name of the Rational ClearQuest Web profile

Procedure

Edit the Rational ClearQuest Web server container authentication properties file, sso.properties, which is in the following directory:

WAShome\profiles\cqwebProfile\installedApps\dfltCell\TeamEAR.ear\cqweb.war\WEB-INF\classes\sso.properties

WAShome/profiles/cqwebProfile/installedApps/dfltCell/TeamEAR.ear/cqweb.war/WEB-INF/classes/sso.properties

Note: If Rational ClearQuest is installed on the Solaris operating system, the default WebSphere Application Server cell directory is <srv>Node01Cell. Use this value in place of dfltCell, which is the default directory on Windows, UNIX, and Linux systems.
Change the SSO_CLIENT_ENABLE setting to true:
```
SSO_CLIENT_ENABLE=true
```

Copy the encrypted password that you created in the previous topic, Configuring CM Server for container authentication, and paste it as the value for SSO_CLIENT_PASSWORD:

SSO_CLIENT_PASSWORD=password_generated_by_running_cqrpc

For example:

SSO_CLIENT_PASSWORD=FIPS955f13dbb44386be99d855ae73081e26cd4c03017793936fc746bfc12b03caaa5a1057d415b9ef51f501e8938c9456da1ca4bd1888921e64c29d2cb6ea619f1fb3d07b8b2b6de4030fe0f00a11f39d7c2a4b0766355f81dabb1eba7ba285e8fa50951b9df5a887b2c2e1fdfb5bc2d27ab20ba8cc6c2e8e0964559f72635788783896ca178d2b314934fe316efa34a2025ab84fc3c1b8bdb3ce0cabbddccab224258024bb5defda026c85e5d5e743eff4

Change the SSO_LOGIN_MODE setting to REQUEST:
```
SSO_LOGIN_MODE=REQUEST
```
This setting enables the Rational ClearQuest Web client to find the user name authenticated by WebSphere Application Server.
Save the modified sso.properties file:
1. Change to the working directory where the updated sso.properties file is located.
2. Start the WebSphere Application Server wsadmin utility in a command window:
  
  "WAShome\profiles\cqwebProfile\bin\wsadmin"
  
  WAShome/profiles/cqwebProfile/bin/wsadmin
3. Run the following commands:
  wsadmin> $AdminApp update TeamEAR file {-operation update -contents updated_sso.properties -contenturi cqweb.war/WEB-INF/classes/sso.properties}
  
  wsadmin> $AdminConfig save
  
  wsadmin> exit
Restart the WebSphere Application Server to activate the changes to the sso.properties file.
