How to use scm login -certificates option?


Guowei Jim Hu (1.0k910353) | asked Sep 14 '11, 3:21 p.m.
In RTC 3.0, there is a new option called certificates for scm login:
login certificate
Specifies the file that contains the login SSL certificate for the user.


Does anyone know how to use it and post an example?

Our RTC servers use IBMCA server certificates. Where do we get the login SSL certificate for opur RTC users?

Basically we try to find a way to avoid to use cleartext passwd in the build script.

Thanks!

Do you know if we can still use the username and passwd approach after configuring the WAS to use personal certificates?

In the article under "configuring RTC and JTS..." the following is mentioned... Only one <login> XML element is allowed, so it is required that you either delete or comment-out any other <login> XML elements.

I believe you can either configure username/password or certificate authentication not both. Someone who has tried it out is probably the best person to comment.
