Configuring Rational DOORS

You must configure Rational® DOORS® so that data can be exchanged across the integrations.

Before you begin

Contact the administrator of the remote server that you want to integrate with and request an OAuth Consumer Name and Consumer Secret, and the Root Services URL for the server.
Note: You cannot add a remote server that uses a self-signed certificate for SSL.

You also need to give the administrator of the remote server a Consumer Key, OAuth Secret and the Root Services URL for your Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access configuration. Instructions for generating the key and the secret are given below.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or a custom user who has the power to manage the database, and open the database properties.
  2. Add the OAuth Consumer Name provided by the remote server administrator to the list of servers that Rational DOORS can integrate with:
    1. In the Rational DOORS database properties, select the Remote Services tab.
    2. In the Server List pane, click Add and complete the fields using the information that you were given by the remote server administrator.
    3. Click Register. The server is added to the list.
  3. In the Collaboration Links pane, click Add.
  4. Select the remote server that you registered and browse to the target project. You might be prompted to log in to the remote server.
  5. Click Add to complete the integration with the project.
  6. Create a Consumer Key and OAuth Secret for the remote server:
    1. On the Local Keys tab, select Add, complete the fields, and register the consumer.
    2. Give the remote server administrator the Consumer Key and OAuth Secret that you have registered, along with the Root Services URL for the Rational DOORS Web Access server and ask to be added to the remote server as a friend. When the local key that you have provided has been added to the remote server as a friend, the integration configuration is complete and users can integrate the data in the two servers.
