Symptom

User name and password are made available to any user on Linux or UNIX based systems after certain UCM operation, simply by running ps -ef, listing of processes.

Linux Example:


[vobadmin@vobadmin]$ ps -ef
vobadmin xxxxxx 1 0 14:59 pts/0 00:00:00
/opt/rational/clearquest/linux_x86/bin/../../../common/java/jre/bin/java -cp opt/rational/clearquest/rcp/plugins/com.ibm.rational.clearquest.ucm.rcp_7.0.0/ucmrcp.jar com.ibm.rational.clearquest.ucm.cmdline.UCMCmdLine -cmd find -m 7.0.0 -d CQINT -u USERNAME -p USERPASSWORD -r



There are three scenarios that exhibit this behavior:

1. Invoke ClearCase Project Explorer on Linux or UNIX, select an activity and right click to display its properties.
2. Creating a new ClearQuest record from Project Explorer by doing a Right-click on a UCM-enabled stream, choose Properties -> Select the Views tab -> Select a view -> Select Properties -> Click Change -> Click New -> Select a record type and create a new ClearQuest record.
3. The last is a continuation of scenario 2. Once the ClearQuest record is created if you selected that new activity and did an Auto-Transition this would also trigger this behavior
