To use Windows user authentication, you must use an instance of Rational® DOORS® database server V9.3 or later that is configured to exclude Rational DOORS clients that are earlier than V9.3. To exclude earlier clients, on the General tab of the database properties, set the minimum client version to 9.3.
To enable Windows user authentication, you run the doorsd command and the dbadmin command. First, you run doorsd to run the database server. Then, you run dbadmin to enable and disable Windows user authentication.
doorsd -start
dbadmin -data 36677@ServerHostName -useOSUserAuthentication
You can disable Windows user authentication by entering the dbadmin with the -doNotUseOSUserAuthentication command-line switch.When you enable Windows user authentication, you no longer use user name and password authentication to log on to the Rational DOORS client. To verify that Windows user authentication is being used, on the Policy tab of the Login Properties window, make sure that the Use OS user authentication field is selected.
