Establishing cross-server communication

Use the server administration interface to establish cross-server communication with other Jazz™ Team Servers that can participate as friends in the Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM ) integration. Use this procedure to add the location information of another Jazz Team Server, create a provisional OAuth consumer key, and send a request to the friend server.

Before you begin

You must set the public URI on each Jazz server that is participating in the C/ALM integrations before performing this procedure.

Procedure

  1. Open the server administration interface as a member of the JazzAdmins group:
    • For Rational® Team Concert and Rational Requirements Composer, log in to the Admin Web UI and click the Server tab.
    • In Rational Quality Manager, click Admin > Jazz Server Administration.
  2. In the Configuration pane, click Cross-Server Communication.
  3. In the Title field, type a title to identify another Jazz Team Server. To easily identify the server, you might want to use the server URI for the title. For example, https://rqm-host:9443/jazz/
  4. At the Root Services URI field, type the URI for the Jazz root services of the server you want to add as a friend. Use the form https://friend-server:9443/jazz/rootservices For example, https://rqm-host:9443/jazz/rootservices. When adding a Rational Requirements Composer server from one of the other product servers, use the form https://rrc-server/rdm/rootservices.
  5. In the OAuth Secret and Re-type Secret fields, type an OAuth secret code phrase to associate with the new OAuth consumer key. In this step, you do not enter the key itself; you enter a shorter phrase that will be associated with the key.
  6. Leave the Trusted check box cleared. You will be asked for authorization when communicating with the other server.
  7. Click Request Access. A provisional OAuth consumer key is added to the list on this page and a request for access approval is sent to the other server. A new entry is added to the Server Friends List.

What to do next

If you have administrator permissions on the target server, follow the Grant access for the provisional key link that is provided at the end of this procedure to navigate to OAuth Consumer Management on the target server and approve the access request; otherwise, work with a member of the administrator group on the target server to get approval for provisional OAuth consumer keys. See Approving access requests.

After you approve the access request, repeat this procedure for the other Jazz Team Servers so that they can access this Jazz Team Server.
