Configure OAuth Authentication

You must configure OAuth authentication so that the connector can authenticate with Jama. OpenText recommends that you use the OAuth configuration tool that is supplied with the connector.

NOTE: There is no need to complete this procedure if you ran the OAuth configuration tool during the installation process.

To configure OAuth authentication

  1. Open the folder where you installed the connector.
  2. Open the file oauth_tool.cfg in a text editor.
  3. In the [OAuthTool] section, set the following parameters:

    AppKey The client ID provided by Jama (see Create OAuth Credentials).
    AppSecret The client secret provided by Jama (see Create OAuth Credentials).
    TokenUrl Replace the placeholder {JamaUrl} with the URL of the Jama repository, for example https://jama.example.com.

    Do not modify the other parameters in this section.

  4. Open a command-line window and run oauth_tool.exe.

    The OAuth tool generates an OAuth sites file. You can now configure a task to retrieve data from Jama. See Retrieve Information from Jama.
