Configuring Jazz Team Server container authentication for the web app

You can set up a Jazz™ Team Server to provide authentication for the web app.

Before you begin

A new or existing Jazz Team Server using container authentication is required.

About this task

This type of authentication is supported on Apache Tomcat, WebSphere® Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile . The Liberty server must be configured for https connections.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Jazz Team Server as an administrator at https://<server>:<port>/jts/admin.
  2. Go to Server > Configuration > Registered Applications.
  3. Click Add.
  4. In the Add Application window, enter the following information about your application:
    1. In the Application Name field, enter a unique name for the application.
    2. In the Discovery URL field, enter the URL to the Rational® Publishing Engine web app, for example https://server:port/rpeng/scr.
    3. In the Consumer secret field, enter a consumer secret for the application that you are registering. Jazz Team Server will automatically generate a consumer key.
    4. In the Functional User ID field, enter rpe_user.
    5. Click Finish.
  5. In a browser, open the URL for the web app. The authentication should be delegated to the Jazz Team Server.
  6. If you get a confirmation dialog when you log in asking you to allow the Rational Publishing Engine server to collaborate with the Jazz Team Server, follow the steps in the Verifying that the report server is a trusted client on the Jazz Team Server section of the linked topic. Substitute the Rational Publishing Engine server values for the report server.
