Enabling Lifecycle Query Engine for Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on
In a multiple application environment, you can simplify user access to the servers by
implementing single sign-on (SSO). With SSO, users can sign on once to gain access to all servers
without having to authenticate again for each server. After you upgrade Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE) to
a version 6 release, to use Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it must
first be enabled.
Before you begin
Important: If you do not require secure connections, before you run the setup wizard and
enable SSO, you can disable the security settings and permit unencrypted connections to LQE,
including user login credentials. Disabling SSL can create a security exposure where a malicious
user within the network can attack the system. In non SSL mode, add the following entry to the
JTS_6.X_install_dir/server/conf/lqe/lqe.properties file:
disable_secure_cookies=true
Important: Before you can enable Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on, the Jazz®
Team Server and LQE
must be upgraded to a version 6 release, and single sign-on must be enabled for the Jazz
Team Server where the
applications are registered. See Enabling CLM applications
for Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on.
Procedure
- If the LQE is not at version 6.0, or later, upgrade and verify that the upgrade was successful.
- Shut down the JTS server.
-
In the LQE installation directory, in the
conf/lqe/
folder, open the lqe.properties file and set the property:lqe.configMode=true
. If you installed the LDX application, in the corresponding install directory, in theconf/ldx/
folder, open the lqe.properties file and set the property:lqe.configMode=true
. - Restart the server.
- Go to the JTS Administration page and in the list of registered applications, delete the LQE registration and then add it again with the same values. Repeat this step for the LDX application.
