Testing and configuring the server

Run the setup wizard to verify that the server is operating properly and to configure additional server options such as e-mail notifications.

Before you begin

To verify that the Jazz™ Team Server is connecting to the database, look at the server log or console output. The connection and database information are echoed on its first access. The directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs is used for the server log files.

This procedure assumes that your server is available using the host name localhost and the default port 9443. If necessary, replace localhost with your server host name.

The server setup wizard is available at https://localhost:9443/jazz/setup. If the server setup wizard does not load, check the following items:
  • Verify that the application server has started. Use the URL http://localhost:9080.
  • Verify that the Jazz Team Server has started by logging in to the Jazz Team Server Admin Web UI using the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin. If the page does not load or the server has errors, the server did not start correctly.
  • The URI root for the Jazz Team Server path must be /jazz. For example, https://example.com:9443/jazz must be used rather than https://example.com:9443.

About this task

To configure and test the server:

Procedure

  1. Open the setup wizard by typing the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/setup.
    The default user name and password are case sensitive:
    • User name: ADMIN
    • Password: ADMIN
    If you configured the LDAP directory Web container, log in with a JazzAdmin user that is defined in your LDAP directory.
  2. Choose a setup path. The setup wizard has the following two main paths
    • The Fast Path Setup uses the default configuration. If you want to get the server running quickly, use the Fast Path Setup option. You can use the Fast Path Setup to specify the LDAP connection parameters. For more information on specifying the LDAP paramaters, see Setting up the LDAP connection parameters
    • The Custom Setup guides you through the detailed server configuration, including the ability to enable e-mail notifications. During the Custom Setup, you can set up the following items:
      • Database
      • E-mail notification
      • User registry
  3. By default the Disable default ADMIN access check box is selected. After you create a new user with JazzAdmin rights, the default ADMIN user is disabled. This is a security feature. Disable this check box if you want to retain the default ADMIN user.
    Note: If you retain the default ADMIN user, you must assign a IBM® Rational® Project Conductor Client Access License to the user. If no license is assigned, the default ADMIN user cannot perform any project management tasks. For information about assigning licenses, see Creating users and assigning licenses.
  4. When the initial setup is complete, additional options can be configured from the Jazz Team Server Admin Web user interface by using the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin.
