Rational Build Forge uses a server authentication (login
name and password) to connect to a server with an agent installed.
About this task
You must create a server authentication for a server before
you define that server as a resource for Rational Build Forge to use.
The privileges associated with the login name and password determine
the privileges that the Rational Build Forge projects use when they
run on the server.
Procedure
- In the left panel of Rational Build Forge, click .
The Management Console displays
a blank Server Authentication Details panel at the bottom.
- Click Add Server Authentication.
- In Name, enter a name for the authentication.
Use the login name for the authentication name.
- In Login, specify a login name for
an account on the server.
Note: If the login
name is from a domain user, include the domain in this field. For
example, type: MYDOMAIN/joeuser.
- In Password, type the password.
- In Verified, retype the password.
- Click Save Server Authentication.
Results
The new server authentication is displayed in the top panel
and is available to use when you define a server.
