Establishing friend relationships

Use the adapter administration interface to establish friend relationships between the adapter and the Change and Configuration Management application. 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

The Git adapter is registered with the Jazz™ Team Server.

About this task

You add a friend relationship to a Change and Configuration Management application. Repeat the steps to add another application friend request.

Procedure

  1. Point your browser to https://fully qualified hostname:port/gitAdapter/admin. Log in using an account with administrative access.
  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 Change and Configuration Management application.

    To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Team Concert™ that is hosted on a server 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 Change and Configuration Management application. For example, 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

A friend request exists between a Change and Configuration Management application and the adapter.
