You can enable Microsoft Certificate Store
(MCS) authentication in the IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
client by using command-line switches or a batch file.
Before you begin
About this task
If you use command-line switches to enable MCS authentication, use these command-line switches:
- -mcs on
- The switch that sets the client to use the Microsoft certificate store. Do not use the -keyDB switch when you use -mcs on.
- -certName
- The name of the certificate, such as "certOne".

Use one of these methods to enable MCS authentication:
Results
After MCS authentication is enabled, your users must use an MCS card or certificate to log on.
When the DOORS client starts, if the distinguished name (DN) in the client certificate is associated with only one DOORS user account, the user logs on automatically. If the DN is associated with more than one user account, the "User name" window is displayed, and the user must enter a user name that is associated with the DN.
For security, the associated user names are not displayed.
