Setting up 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 DOORS
without the additional entry.
Procedure
- Open the Login Properties window, as described in Configuring the 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 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 DOORS is the same user who is logged in to the operating system.
