Use an alternate installation method when SSL is enabled
on the Build Forge system.
Before you begin
The current version of Rational Team Concert is not enabled
for SSL. Therefore the plug-in cannot be installed from the Build
Forge system when the Build Forge system has SSL enabled. As a workaround,
make the plug-in installation files available on a non-secure web
server or distribute them to users manually.
The following files
are required from either <bfinstall>/webroot/public/rtc (for
RTC version 1.x) or <bfinstall>/webroot/public/rtc2 (for
RTC version 2.x):
- features directory
- plugins directory
- site.xml file
About this task
Once you have made the rtc or rtc2 directory
available, users perform these steps from within their Rational Team
Concert client:
