Establishing cross-server communication

Use the Rational® Adapter for Git administration interface to establish cross-server communication between Rational Adapter for Git and the Change and Configuration Management server. Use this procedure to add the location information for the Change and Configuration Management application, and send a request to the friend application.

Before you begin

After installing the Rational Adapter for Git and completing the set up of the adapter, you must establish a friend relationship between the Rational Adapter for Git and the server used by Rational Team Concert™ (Change and Configuration Management server).

About this task

Add a friend relationship to the Change and Configuration Management server to establish cross-server communication with the Rational Adapter for Git.

Procedure

  1. Point your browser to https://[fully qualified hostname]:[port]/gitAdapter. Log in to the Rational Adapter for Git server. Use an account that has administrator privileges, if applicable.
  2. On the Application Administration page, click Friends (Outbound). The Friends page opens.
  3. At the Friends List, click Add. The Add Friend window opens.
  4. For Name, type the name that you want to use to identify the Git friend application.To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Team Concert that is hosted on a machine named rtc.example.com, then you might use the name RTC on rtc.example.com
  5. For Root Services URI, type the uniform resource identifier for the Jazz™ application server. For the Rational Team Concert server, use https://host-name:[port]/ccm/rootservices.
  6. In the OAuth Secret and Re-type Secret fields, enter an OAuth secret code phrase to associate with the new OAuth consumer key. This string can contain one or more words and special characters, and cannot exceed 50 characters. This string is never displayed in the user interface, and you do not enter this string again. This string, also called an OAuth consumer secret, acts as a password to access the friend server.
  7. Select the Trusted check box. Trusted consumers can share authorization with other trusted consumers and do not require user approval to access data.
  8. Click Create Friend. A confirmation message opens. Click Next to continue.
  9. Click Finish. The Friends list shows your friend server request.

Results

From the Rational Adapter for Git, you have created a friend request from a Change and Configuration Management server.
