Setting up Rational DOORS Web Access to access remote applications with OSLC
You can set up IBM®
Rational®
DOORS® Web Access so that it can access the data that is stored in a remote application by using
OSLC. Gather information about the remote application from its administrator and register
the application with Rational
DOORS.
Before you begin
About this task
After you register the remote application, you add the projects from the remote application that you want to integrate with.
Note: If you do not do these
steps correctly, an error is displayed when you try to set up links between Rational
DOORS Web Access and the other application. After you configure the integration, an
error is also displayed if you uninstall the remote application or if connectivity
to the application is interrupted.
Procedure
What to do next
You must give the administrator of the other application a Consumer Key, OAuth Secret, and the Root Services URL for your Rational DOORS Web Access installation.
For information about gathering this information, see Setting up Rational DOORS Web Access to be accessed by remote applications with OSLC.
If you integrate Rational
DOORS Web Access with an application that uses Jazz Team Server and link discovery, you are
prompted to authenticate when you open modules that contain links to the remote
application. You can avoid repeated authentication prompts by designating Rational
DOORS Web Access as a trusted service.
- Log on to the remote application server and open the Server
Administration page, for example:
- Jazz Team Server: https://host-name:9443/jts/admin
- Design Management Server: https://host-name:9443/dm/admin
- In the Communication section, click Consumers (Inbound).
- Edit the Rational DOORS Web Access consumer and ensure that the Trusted check box is selected.
- Click Advanced Properties.
- In the com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.oauth.TrustedCallbackService section, enter a Trusted Callback Service URL value that specifies the URL to the Rational DOORS Web Access server; for example, https://dwaserver.com:9443. This entry establishes the trusted server URI that corresponds to the Trusted option.
- Save the Advanced Properties settings.
Note: If you move a Rational
DOORS database that contains OSLC links to a different server, the OSLC links in
the associated application are broken. You must configure each link from any
associated applications to the new database server.
