Approving an access request

After you create a request access from the HP ALM application to the Rational® Requirements Composer application, the Change and Configuration Management application, or both, you use the Jazz™ server administration to approve the request.

Before you begin

You must establish cross-server communication between the HP ALM server and the servers used byRational Requirements Composer and Rational Team Concert™ before performing this procedure.
Important: This topic does not apply if you used your administrator credentials to create the friend relationship on the Jazz server as described in Establishing cross-server communication from the HP adapter.

About this task

Approve consumer key requests by the HP ALM server using the Jazz server administration.

Procedure

To approve a consumer key requested by the HP ALM server:

  1. Point your browser to one of the following:
    1. https://[fully qualified hostname]:[port]/rm/admin. Log in to the Rational Requirements Composer server by using an account that has administrator privileges.
    2. https://[fully qualified hostname]:[port]/ccm/admin and log in to the Rational Team Concert server by using an account that has administrator privileges.
  2. Select the Consumers (Inbound) page. New requests are listed in the Provisional Keys section.
  3. To identify the application that uses the consumer key, update the Consumer Name field with the name of the application that is requesting access to this application, for example, HP ALM Application.
  4. As the consumer shares authorization with other trusted consumers, select the Trusted check box.
  5. At the Authorized field, change the Pending value to Approve.
  6. Click Save. The key is included in the Authorized Keys section of the page.
  7. Repeat the steps above to approve another consumer key requested by the HP ALM server.

Results

The Rational Requirements Composer application, the Rational Team Concert application, or both applications can now use the key to communicate with the HP ALM application.

What to do next

Establish cross-server communication between Rational Requirements Composer, Rational Team Concert and HP ALM, see Establishing cross-server communication from CLM.
