The following variables are used in path names:

Procedure

  1. Run the installutil setssoclientpassword subcommand in a command prompt window to set the password that is required to enable container authentication:

    installutil setssoclientpassword schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword

  2. When prompted, enter a password with a minimum of 30 characters to enable container authentication for the associated HCL Compass databases. If there are embedded spaces in the password, then you must enclose the password in quotation marks. Expected result: Exit code 0 displays.
    Important: Record this password because you need it later.
  3. Run the installutil getssosettings subcommand to check whether the schema repository is enabled for web container authentication:

    installutil getssosettings schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword

    TRUE is returned if the schema repository is enabled for web container authentication. Otherwise, FALSE is returned.

  4. If the schema repository is not enabled for web container authentication, run the installutil enablessologin subcommand to enable it:

    installutil enablessologin schemaRepositoryName adminUserName adminPassword
