Log in

Depending on the node that is currently selected in your ClearCase Navigator view, you can use this dialog box to log in to a Change Management server, a ClearCase server, or a ClearQuest server.

Log in to Change Management server

If you attempt to connect without selecting a ClearCase element, view or server or a ClearQuest server or database, you are prompted to enter credentials in the Log in to Change Management server dialog box.

Log in to ClearCase server

If you attempt to connect by selecting a ClearCase element, view or server or if you attempt to modify an element under ClearCase source control, you are prompted to enter credentials in the Log in to ClearCase dialog box.

Log in to ClearQuest server

If you attempt to connect by selecting a ClearQuest server or database or if you attempt to access or modify resources in a ClearQuest repository, you are prompted to enter credentials in the Log in to ClearQuest dialog box.

Store and use credentials

If you select this option, the user name that you enter for each server and/or database is stored across the current and all future sessions of the current workspace. The password is stored for the current session only.

For each server or database that you attempt to access, ClearCase Remote Client attempts to use the stored credentials. You are only prompted for credentials if the user name or password is not stored or is not correct. You can clear stored credentials by selecting a server, right-clicking and selecting Clear stored credentials.

You are required to enter credentials slightly differently for each of the following cases:
  • Same user name, same password for ClearCase server and ClearQuest user database: enter user name only once during initial session; enter password only once during each session.
  • Different user names, same password for ClearCase server and ClearQuest user database: enter user name once for each server during initial session; enter password only once during each session.
  • Same user names, different passwords for ClearCase server and ClearQuest user database: enter user name only once during initial session; enter password once for each server during each session.
  • Different user names, different passwords for ClearCase server and ClearQuest user database: enter user name once for each server during initial session; enter password once for each server during each session.
