Setting up Basic access control
To set up Basic access control, select Basic as your access method in kwauthconfig, and create a list of user names and passwords in Validate.
To set up Basic access in kwauthconfig, you need to:
- enable authentication through the Portal
- select Basic as your access control method
- provide secure connection information if you're configuring SSL. See Using a secure Klocwork Server connection for more details.
To set up Basic access control
- Enable authentication through the Portal.
Go to the Users screen and toggle the authentication button in the top-right corner. Default is 'disabled'.
- To access kwauthconfig, go to <server_install>/bin or run kwauthconfig [<projects_root>] from the command line on any platform.
The path to the projects_root directory can be an absolute or relative path. If you don't provide the projects_root as a parameter in step 1, the Select Klocwork Projects Root dialog appears.
- If the Projects Root dialog appears, enter the complete path or browse to the projects_root and click OK.
- Click Configure.
- Select Basic. The only difference between this method and Open is that Basic access requires that all user accounts must have a password.
- Optional: Click Use secure Klocwork Server connection, then enter the Host name, Organizational unit, and Organization for the SSL connection.
- Click Finish and the initial configuration utility screen will appear. Click OK to finalize your changes.
You must restart the Klocwork Server with the command validate service --projects-root <projects_root> restart klocwork or with Windows Services administration.

Now that you've set up Basic access control in kwauthconfig, you're ready to create your list of users in Validate.
