Connecting to repositories and project areas
Users must create a connection from the client to a repository for access to project areas. Your Jazz administrator must supply information to enable your access to the repository.
Before you begin
This topic assumes that your Jazz administrator has created a repository and a project area.
You need the following information to connect to a repository:
- The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for an existing repository. Typically, this address is in
the form of
http://hostname.example.com:9443/ccm
, where you must substitute your own fully qualified host name and port number. Secure servers require thehttps://
protocol. The repository is created by a Jazz administrator, who must make it available on a local or network server. - A user ID and password for the repository. Team member credentials are created on the web server and in team areas by Jazz administrators. Your administrator can configure the repository for user authentication in an LDAP directory.
Smart Card authentication is available on Windows only. To enable Smart Card authentication, you
must have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package installed. You must then enable the
IBM Common Access Card (CAC) provider within Java by editing the
install-directory/TeamConcert/jdk/jre/conf/security/java.security
file. Replace this section:
security.provider.1=SUN
security.provider.2=SunRsaSign
security.provider.3=SunEC
security.provider.4=SunJSSE
security.provider.5=SunJCE
security.provider.6=SunJGSS
security.provider.7=SunSASL
security.provider.8=XMLDSig
security.provider.9=SunPCSC
security.provider.10=JdkLDAP
security.provider.11=JdkSASL
security.provider.12=SunMSCAPI
security.provider.13=SunPKCS11
