Configuring Rational DOORS Web Access to use SSL

The Rational® DOORS® Web Access server can be configured to use SSL. To enable Rational DOORS Web Access to use SSL, configure the festival.xml file and the server.xml file. The server.xml file is a Tomcat file.

Before you begin

Set up SSL by following the instructions in the Tomcat documentation. Make sure you set up entries in the server.xml file for the keystore, including an entry of ibmX509for the algorithm.

About this task

If Tomcat is configured to use SSL, you must set an entry in the festival.xml file correctly, otherwise Rational DOORS Web Access does not run. You must also add a line to the server.xml file.

Procedure

  1. Open the server/festival/config/festival.xml file in your Rational DOORS Web Access server installation directory.
  2. Navigate to the <f:properties> section of the file.
  3. Set ForceHttpsForAuthenticationForOAuth to true.
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. Open the server/conf/server.xml file in your Rational DOORS Web Access server installation directory.
  6. Navigate to the <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 section of the file.
  7. Add SSLEnabled="true" as an entry on a line of its own.
  8. Save and close the file.
