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 window in Rational DOORS to gather this information.
Procedure
- Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
- Click . The Local Keys window opens.
- Click Add, complete the fields, and register the consumer.
Note: When configuring "friend" relationships for OSLC linking between participating servers, always use a server name. Do not use an IP address.
- 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.
For information about adding the information supplied by the other application, see Setting up Rational DOORS Web Access to access remote applications with OSLC.
Note: If you move a Rational DOORS database that contains OSLC links to a different server, the OSLC links in the associated application will be broken. You must configure each link from any associated applications to the new database server.
