How to Setup Smart Card Integration

This article explains how you can setup IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management applications for Smart Card integration.

Rational Team Concert Eclipse client settings

If the Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) Eclipse client was installed in the following directory

C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert

C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert\jdk\jre\lib\security\java.security

1) Search for the following section, and make the modification below:

#
# List of providers and their preference orders (see above):
#
security.provider.1=com.ibm.security.capi.IBMCAC
security.provider.2=com.ibm.jsse2.IBMJSSEProvider2
security.provider.3=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE
security.provider.4=com.ibm.security.jgss.IBMJGSSProvider
security.provider.5=com.ibm.security.cert.IBMCertPath
security.provider.6=com.ibm.security.sasl.IBMSASL
security.provider.7=com.ibm.xml.crypto.IBMXMLCryptoProvider
security.provider.8=com.ibm.xml.enc.IBMXMLEncProvider
security.provider.9=org.apache.harmony.security.provider.PolicyProvider
security.provider.10=com.ibm.security.jgss.mech.spnego.IBMSPNEG

Note that IBM CAC (Common Access Card) support has been enabled.

2) Search for the next section and make sure the following has been specified as to the default keystore:

#
# Default keystore type.
#
keystore.type=Windows-MY

The above sections show the correctly modified content within the java.security file to enable the support for IBM CAC and thus Smart Card Log-in ability within the Engineering Workflow Management Eclipse client
