Smart cards and Windows user authentication
The administrator can configure IBM®
Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web
Access
(DWA) so
that users can access it using smart cards instead of logging in with a user name and a
password.
The administrator sets up the system to use smart card authentication by associating a user or users with a certificate, which is known as a user identifier key. The administrator associates certificates with cards, and then configures the system with command-line switches. For more information, see Configuring smart cards and certificates.
When you access IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS - Web Access (DWA), instead of logging in with a user name and a password, you must use your smart card.
DWA
supports two types of smart card:
- Public key infrastructure (PKI) cards
- Common access card (CAC) cards
IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS) client supports Windows user authentication. For more information, see Configuring Windows user authentication.
