Generating OAuth consumer keys

You can generate OAuth consumer keys to allow other servers to communicate directly with IBM® Rational® Asset Manager by using the OAuth open standard.

Before you begin

If the other server uses the IBM Jazz™ Friend Specification (for example, IBM Rational Team Concert), request a consumer key on the other server. For more information, see Adding Rational Asset Manager as an external friend to a Jazz server.

You must be a repository administrator to generate OAuth consumer keys.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the web application.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. In the Repository Administration sidebar, click Cross-Server Communication.
  4. In the Consumer Keys section, click New Consumer.
  5. Type the following information for the OAuth consumer key:
    Option Description
    Name A name for the key. For example, you might type the name of the server that uses the key.
    Description An optional description of the key.
    Consumer secret A password to accompany the consumer key.
  6. Click OK.
  7. On the Cross-Server Communication page, an entry is displayed with the generated consumer key. You can copy the Consumer Key field and paste it into the appropriate place on the consumer server.

What to do next

To modify the name, description, or consumer secret of an OAuth consumer key, click the name of any consumer key.
