The EmailPlusSiteConfig record type defines information
about the SMTP and ClearQuest® web
servers at each site in an IBM® Rational® ClearQuest MultiSite installation, or
about the single site in a non-replicated environment.
There must be at least one EmailPlusSiteConfig record.
In a non-replicated environment, only one EmailPlusSiteConfig record
is required. In a ClearQuest MultiSite
environment, you can have one record per replica.
SMTP Config tab
Use the
SMTP
Config tab to specify SMTP mail server details.
CQWeb Config tab
Use the
CQWeb
Config tab to define information about the ClearQuest web server. The credentials
on the
CQWeb Config tab are used to construct
links in the email message body that take the email recipient to a
specific record, chart, query, or report.
- Use the Web Server field to identify the ClearQuest Web server name.
If a server name is not specified, it is assumed that there is no ClearQuest Web server at
this site.
- Use the Web Server Port field to identify
the ClearQuest Web server
port number. The port number can be left blank if you are using the
default port number.
- Use the Web Server Protocol list to select
the protocol that you use to communicate with your ClearQuest Web server, either http://
or https://. If you select https://, your ClearQuest web server must be configured
to use the HTTPS protocol.
- Use the Web User ID and Web
Password fields to enter a ClearQuest login ID and a password so
that the generated URLs take the user directly to the appropriate
item.
Attention: Using this facility is a potential security
risk because the user ID and password are displayed as plain text
in each URL, and the user can perform whatever actions are permitted
by that ClearQuest ID.
If you leave these fields blank, users who click the link must provide
their own ClearQuest credentials,
if they do not already have an active ClearQuest web session.
