Enabling Lifecycle Query Engine for Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on

In an environment where applications are hosted on multiple servers, you can simplify user access to those servers by implementing single sign-on (SSO). With SSO, users need to sing in one time to gain access to all servers and eliminate the need to authenticate again for each server. After you upgrade Lifecycle Query Engine to a version 7.1 release to use Jazz Security Architecture single sign-on (SSO) authentication, it must first be enabled.

About this task

Procedure

Optional: If secure connections are not required, you can disable the security settings and allow unencrypted connections to Lifecycle Query Engine. The security settings must be disabled before you run the setup wizard and enable SSO. 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_7.X_install_dir/server/conf/lqe/lqe.properties file:

disable_secure_cookies=true

  1. In a web browser, open the Jazz Team Server Administration page: https://server:port/jts/admin.
  2. Stop the Jazz Team Server server. See Stop the servers.
  3. Open the lqe.properties file from the LQE_install_Dir/conf/lqe/ directory.
  4. Search for the lqe.configMode property in the lqe.properties file and set it to true.
    If you have installed the Link Index Provider application in the conf/ldx/ folder, open the lqe.properties file and set the property lqe.configMode=true.
  5. Restart the server. See Start the servers.
  6. Go to the Jazz Team Server Administration page.
  7. Under the list of registered applications, delete the Lifecycle Query Engine registration.
  8. Add the Lifecycle Query Engine application again with the same values.
  9. Go to the Jazz Team Server Administration page.
  10. Under the list of registered applications, delete the Link Index Provider registration.
  11. Add the Link Index Provider application again with the same values.
