Set up your system to use two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication is a security process where your users provide two means of identification to authenticate to the server.
Before you begin
Log in to Rational®
DOORS® as the administrator user.
About this task
All of the configuration tasks for two-factor authentication are carried out in the Rational Directory Administration tool.
Note: When you set up two-factor authentication, make sure that you set up an entry in the Rational Directory Administration tool for the administrator user. The administrator user cannot log in to Rational DOORS without the additional entry.
Procedure
- Open the Login Properties window, as described in Configuring the Rational DOORS database.
- On the General tab, in the Directory Configuration area,
set the Current Directory to Rational
Directory Service (RDS). Complete the fields as instructed in
the help.
- Log out of Rational DOORS.
- Log in to the Rational Directory Administration tool, and enable two-factor authentication. For information about enabling two-factor authentication, see the Rational Directory Administration Help.
Results
Rational
DOORS is now set up to use two-factor
authentication. The next time your users log in, they must authenticate against Rational
DOORS and the Rational Directory Server before they can access the
client.
There are more read-only fields on the
Policy tab
of the
Login Properties window that display information about
how two-factor authentication is configured. These fields are only visible if
two-factor authentication is configured.
- Use additional authentication
This field is
selected to show that two-factor authentication is in use.
- Check system login credentials
If this field is
selected, two-factor authentication is set up to make sure that the user
who is logging in to Rational
DOORS is the same user who is
logged in to the operating system.
