Setting up DWA to access remote applications with OSLC
You can set up IBM®
Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web
Access
(DWA) 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 IBM Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS
(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 DWA 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 DWA installation.
For information about gathering this information, see Setting up DWA to be accessed by remote applications with OSLC.
If you integrate 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 DWA 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 DWA 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 DWA 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 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.
