Configuring HCL Compass Web server for container authentication

Configure HCL Compass Web server for container authentication.

About this task

The following variables are used in path names:
HCL
Directory where HCL files are installed.
ssoPassword
Container authentication password. You created and recorded this password in the previous topic, Configuring HCL Compass databases for container authentication.

Procedure

  1. You must add the HCL Compass home directory to the Path system variable if HCL Compass Web server is running on a Windows™ host; otherwise, you cannot run the cqrpc command in the next step. Update the Path variable by using either of the following methods:
    • Use the Control Panel:
      1. Click Start > Control Panel > System.
      2. Click the Advanced tab.
      3. Click Environment Variables.
      4. Select the Path variable in the System variables list and click Edit.
      5. Add KATAHome\Compass to the Variable value field.
    • Open a command window and enter the following command:

      set path=%path%;CompassHome\Compass
  2. Run the cqrpc command in a command window to generate a container authentication password for HCL Compass Web server. The cqrpc command is a component of HCL Compass Web server.
    Windows
    cd CompassHome\compass\cqweb\bin
cqrpc.exe -sso_password ssoPassword
    UNIX Linux
    cd CompassHome/compass/cqweb/bin
cqrpc -sso_password ssoPassword
    The cqrpc command displays the encrypted password, which you will use in the next topic, Configuring the HCL Compass Web client for container authentication. The encrypted password is also written to the sso.properties.temp file.
  3. Rename the sso.properties.temp file to sso.properties.

Results

You created the HCL Compass Web server container authentication properties file.
