Enabling Windows user authentication in the database server
Before you begin
To use Windows user authentication, you must use an instance of IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) database server V9.3 or later that is configured to exclude DOORS clients that are earlier than V9.3. To exclude earlier clients, on the General tab of the database properties, set the minimum client version to 9.3.
About this task
To enable Windows user authentication, you run the doorsd command and the dbadmin command. First, you run doorsd to run the database server. Then, you run dbadmin to enable and disable Windows user authentication.
Procedure
Results
When you enable Windows user authentication, you no longer use user name and password authentication to log on to the DOORS client. To verify that Windows user authentication is being used, on the Policy tab of the Login Properties window, make sure that the Use OS user authentication field is selected.
