Configuring Rational DOORS Web Access to use smart cards
Rational® DOORS® Web Access uses public key
infrastructure (PKI) cards, common access cards (CAC), or Windows user authentication to verify that
users are allowed to run Rational DOORS Web Access.
Before you begin
About this task
To configure Rational DOORS Web Access so that users can log in by using smart cards, you must edit the server.xml file, which is in the server/conf/ folder. The server.xml file is an Apache Tomcat file. For instructions to configure the server.xml file, see the Apache Tomcat documentation for enabling client authentication using the SSL Connector's clientAuth and related attributes.
To support encryption by using smart cards, you must have a keystore and certificate for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and a truststore certificate for Rational DOORS Web Access. Add references to the keystore and certificates in the server.xml file.
