Enabling smart card authentication in the database server
Before you begin
To use smart card 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 window, set the minimum client version to 9.3.
About this task
Procedure
Results
When you enable smart card authentication, you no longer use user name and password authentication to log on to the DOORS client. To verify that smart card authentication is being used, on the Policy tab of the Login Properties window, make sure that the Use card authentication field is selected.
What to do next
If you are using public key infrastructure (PKI), follow the instructions in Enabling PKI authentication in the client. If you are using Microsoft Certificate Store (MCS), follow the instructions in Enabling MCS authentication in the client.
