After you encrypt the ClearQuest administrator password
by using the ClearQuest record extractor, you must edit the ClearQuest
search properties file to use the key file and encrypted password
file.
About this task
To add the encrypted administrator password to the ClearQuest
search properties file, perform the following steps:
- Edit the ClearQuest search properties file, CQ-db_name-dbset_name.xml.
- In the <repository> section, locate
the password element and replace it with the contents
of the file encrypted-password-file.txt.
- Also in the <repository> section, locate
the keyfile element. Specify the value of the keyfile element
as the full path specification, including the file name, of the file key-file.txt.
Attention: If the password element
is left blank, then the value of the keyfile element
is ignored and a password is not used to connect to the ClearQuest
database. This can be useful for setup and testing, but should not
be used in a production environment.
