Setting up Rational DOORS Web Access to be accessed by remote applications with OSLC

To set up Rational® DOORS® Web Access to integrate with other applications using OSLC, you must gather information about your installation of Rational DOORS Web Access, and then give the information to the administrator of the other application.

About this task

You must give the administrator of the application that wants to integrate with Rational DOORS Web Access a Consumer Key, an OAuth Secret, and a Root Services URL for your installation.

You use the Local Keys tab on the database properties window in Rational DOORS to gather this information.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
  2. In the database explorer, make sure that the Database view is selected. If necessary, click View > Database View.
  3. Select the database, and then right-click Properties.
  4. On the Local Keys tab, select Add, complete the fields, and register the consumer.
  5. Give the administrator of the remote server the Consumer Key and OAuth Secret that you have registered, along with the Root Services URL for the Rational DOORS Web Access server and ask to be added to the remote server as a friend.

Results

When the details that you have provided have been added to the other application as a friend, and you have added the details provided to you by the administrator of the other application, the configuration is complete and users can integrate the data between Rational DOORS Web Access and the other application.
