Configuring Jazz Team Server container authentication for Publishing Document Builder
You can set up a Jazz Team Server (JTS) to provide authentication for Publishing Document Builder.
Before you begin
About this task
This type of authentication is supported on WebSphere® Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile . The Liberty server must be configured for https connections.
Note: When Publishing Document
Builder is
configured with JTS container authentication, if you are logged into Publishing Document
Builder , you do not
have to enter the data source credentials again when generating a document with data from any
IBM
Engineering Lifecycle Management
(ELM) applications that use the same JTS . To take
advantage of not having to re-authenticate, see the following details:
- Publishing Document Builder must have the same domain as the JTS.
- This type of authentication will also work for smart card or certificate authentication if the JTS is configured with client-cert authentication. Kerberos authentication is also supported.
- The LTPA token life must be long enough that it does not expire before the document generation is completed. The default life is 2 hours. You can configure LTPA timeouts on your application server, for example in WebSphere Liberty , you can customize the server.xml for Engineering Lifecycle Management.
- If the data source connection is to ELM application registered with another JTS, then you must provide connection credentials when generating a document.
- Publishing Document Builder must operate in HTTPS mode, for example https://hostname:port/rpeng/)
- This setting does not work for scheduled document generations.
