Configuring Jazz Team Server single sign-on authentication for Publishing Document Builder

Edit online

You can set Publishing Document Builder to use Jazz Team Server (JTS) single sign-on (SSO) authentication.

About this task

This type of authentication is supported on WebSphere® Liberty server. The Liberty server must be configured for https connections.

The following types of SSO authentication are supported:
  • Jazz Security Architecture SSO authentication: Jazz Security Architecture SSO is an authentication protocol based on the OpenID Connect standard. Authentication services are provided by the Jazz Authorization Server, which must be installed somewhere in your network.
Note: When Publishing Document Builder is configured with Jazz SSO authentication, if you are logged in to Publishing Document Builder, you do not have to enter the data source credentials again to generate a document-style report with data from any IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (Engineering Lifecycle Management) applications that use the same JTS. To take advantage of not having to reauthenticate, see the following details:
  • The Authentication method is set to Auto when connection is created for the data source
  • Publishing Document Builder does not have to be deployed on the same domain as the Engineering Lifecycle Management applications.
  • If the data source connection is to Engineering Lifecycle Management application registered with another JTS, then you must provide connection credentials to generate a document-style report.
  • Publishing Document Builder must operate in HTTPS mode, for example, https://hostname:port/rpeng/).
  • This setting does not work for scheduled document-style report generations.
