Special configurations for smart card authentication

To use the following OpenText Application Quality Management components and features with smart card authentication, the following changes must be made.

• ALM Client MSI Generator:

  ALM Client MSI Generator does not fully support external authentication. To use MSI Generator with external authentication, perform the following:

  • Install ALM Client MSI Generator on the OpenText Application Quality Management server.

  • Value the ALM server address field in MSI Generator with the URL of the OpenText Application Quality Management server on which ALM Client MSI Generator is installed.

  • Specify the URL of the server that end users access in the Additional Servers section of the Generate Client MSI for ALM Server page.

• Smart Repository

  Smart Repository FTP access is not available from remote clients when external authentication is enabled. To access Smart Repository, the user must connect to it from any client (including localhost) after the web proxy, with ALM credentials.

  Note: Only ALM credentials are used. If LDAP integration was enabled with external authentication, ensure that the user's ALM credentials are valued.
