Configure Rational ClearQuest Web server for container
authentication.
Procedure
- You must add the ClearQuest home
directory to the Path system variable if ClearQuest Web
server is running on a Windows host;
otherwise, you cannot run the cqrpc command in
the next step. Update the Path variable by using
either of the following methods:
- Run the cqrpc command in a command window
to generate a container authentication password for ClearQuest Web
server. The cqrpc command is a component of ClearQuest Web
server.

cd RationalHome\clearquest\cqweb\bin
cqrpc.exe -sso_password ssoPassword

cd RationalHome/clearquest/cqweb/bin
cqrpc -sso_password ssoPassword
The cqrpc command
displays the encrypted password, which you will use in the next topic, Configuring the ClearQuest Web client for container authentication.
The encrypted password is also written to the sso.properties.temp file.
- Rename the sso.properties.temp file
to sso.properties.
Results
You created the ClearQuest Web server container authentication
properties file.
