Beginning
in version 2003.06.15, IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® supports LDAP authentication.
Some existing APIs (of the
AdminSession and
User objects) were
enhanced to function with LDAP enabled authentication. The following LDAP
authentication support using the
Rational ClearQuest API
is available:
- Allow traditional Rational ClearQuest authentication
or a mix of Rational ClearQuest and
LDAP authentication types for a schema repository.
- Specify LDAP configuration information for the clan as a whole, but allow
per site specification of any needed LDAP information such as site specific
LDAP server locations
- Use a command line utility, installutil, to configure
the LDAP configuration information for the database set. For more information,
see Using LDAP with Rational ClearQuest.
- Perl and VBScript APIs for setting the authentication mode of individual Rational ClearQuest user accounts
and to support LDAP-enabled Rational ClearQuest users.
Note: Both LDAP and
Rational ClearQuest enabled
authentication are supported in the same database set. See
Retrieving user login information for
information on retrieving user login information using
Rational ClearQuest API
methods that support
Rational ClearQuest user
names and LDAP login names.
