Use the server administration interface to establish cross-server
communication with other Jazz™ Team
Servers that can participate as friends in the Collaborative Application
Lifecycle Management (C/ALM ) integration. Use this procedure to add
the location information of another Jazz Team
Server, create a provisional OAuth consumer key, and send a request
to the friend server.
Before you begin
You must set the public URI on each Jazz server that is participating in the C/ALM
integrations before performing this procedure.
Procedure
- Open the server administration interface as a member of
the JazzAdmins group:
- For Rational® Team Concert and Rational Requirements Composer,
log in to the Admin Web UI and click the Server tab.
- In Rational Quality
Manager, click .
- In the Configuration pane, click Cross-Server
Communication.
- In the Title field, type a title
to identify another Jazz Team
Server. To easily identify the server, you might want to use the server
URI for the title. For example, https://rqm-host:9443/jazz/
- At the Root Services URI field,
type the URI for the Jazz root
services of the server you want to add as a friend. Use the form https://friend-server:9443/jazz/rootservices For example, https://rqm-host:9443/jazz/rootservices. When adding a Rational Requirements Composer server
from one of the other product servers, use the form https://rrc-server/rdm/rootservices.
- In the OAuth Secret and Re-type
Secret fields, type an OAuth secret code phrase to associate
with the new OAuth consumer key. In this step, you do
not enter the key itself; you enter a shorter phrase that will be
associated with the key.
- Leave the Trusted check box cleared. You will be asked for authorization when communicating
with the other server.
- Click Request Access. A provisional OAuth consumer key is added to the list
on this page and a request for access approval is sent to the other
server. A new entry is added to the Server Friends List.
What to do next
If you have administrator permissions on the target server,
follow the
Grant access for the provisional key link
that is provided at the end of this procedure to navigate to OAuth
Consumer Management on the target server and approve the access request;
otherwise, work with a member of the administrator group on the target
server to get approval for provisional OAuth consumer keys. See
Approving access requests.
After
you approve the access request, repeat this procedure for the other Jazz Team Servers so that they can
access this Jazz Team Server.
