Converting proxy groups

Use the following procedure to replace the proxy groups required in a Windows NT® domain environment with a Rational® ClearCase® users group that is an Active Directory universal group. The universal group includes the groups formerly used as proxy groups.
Note: You can use this procedure only in an Active Directory domain that is operating in native mode. The Rational ClearCase users group and all the proxy groups must exist in the same forest.
  1. Use Active Directory management tools to rename the Rational ClearCase users group in the primary Rational ClearCase domain. For example, the ATLANTA\clearusers group created in the procedure in Using proxy groups and domain mapping in Windows NT domains could be renamed to ATLANTA\clearusers_Atlanta.
  2. Use Active Directory management tools to create a new (universal) Rational ClearCase users group. Keep the same name (ATLANTA\clearusers in our example), so that users do not have to change the value of their CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment variable.
  3. Use Active Directory management tools to add the former proxy groups (BOSTON\clearusers_Boston and CHICAGO\clearusers_Chicago in our example) and the group you renamed in Step 1 as members of the new (universal) Rational ClearCase users group.
  4. Disable domain mapping on all Rational ClearCase client and server hosts. To disable domain mapping on a Rational ClearCase host, use a registry editor to navigate to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion, and then remove the DWORD value DomainMappingEnabled. (Some Rational ClearCase hosts may store this value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atria\ClearCase\CurrentVersion.)
  5. Shut down and restart all Rational ClearCase client and server hosts.
