Setting up Rational DOORS to use two-factor authentication
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
About this task
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
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.
