The following steps should already have been done before you install the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer. Please make sure that
all necessary proxies are configured to allow the communication from the OSLC Connector to the Codebeamer instance
:
Note |
---|
The OAuth client MUST fulfil fulfill the following requirements:
|
server certificates for your https://genoslc-codebeamer.<your domain> are present. The certificates must fullfill fulfill the requirements statet stated in this section: https://smartfacts.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SPD/pages/57180202/Creating+and+testing+the+Certificates+for+Smartfacts#Create-the-certificate
the DNS entry is active for https://genoslc-codebeamer.<your domain>
your genoslc OSLC Connector for Codebeamer deployment can reach the target tool serverCodebeamer instance; all necessary proxies are configured to allow the communication from the OSLC Connector to the Codebeamer instance
Prepare the Deployment
Add library Repository for the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer
Note |
---|
You will need a username and password to download the helm chart and containers from MID's repository. You will receive username and password from your MID contact or from cops@mid.de. |
Code Block |
---|
sudo helm repo add library https://repo.secure.mid.de/chartrepo/library --username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD> |
Code Block |
sudo helm repo update |
Customize Values File
Change to your user's home directory on the server and create a new text file

Overwriting the installed version
Use genoslcToolServiceVersionOverride to change the default version set in the helm chart for the tool service. Overwrite the default value when you want to switch to another version, other than the one set as default via the helm chart
Code Block |
---|
genoslcToolServiceVersionOverride: "2024.07.4" |
Use genoslcCodebeamerPluginVersionOverride to change the default version set in the helm chart for the Codebeamer plugin widget. Overwrite the default value when you want to switch to another version, other than the one set as default.
Code Block |
---|
genoslcCodebeamerPluginVersionOverride: "2024.07.1" |
SSL certificates
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
# SSL certificates
cert:
overrideTruststorePassword: "changeit"
secretName: ""
crtFullChain: ""
key: "" |
Domain and subdomain
In the global
section you must specify the domain
and subdomain
that form the base URL where the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer will be accessible.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
global:
domain: "example.com"
hosts:
genoslc:
subdomain: "genoslc-codebeamer"
port: "" |
This will result in genoslc-codebeamer.example.com to become the URL where the OSLC Connector is established.
OIDC Issuer
The OIDC issuer must be configured in the global
section in order to establish the connection between the application and the SSO. The issuer URL value has to be retrieved from the /.well-known/openid-configuration endpoint of the SSO (RFC 8414 - OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata (ietf.org))
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
global:
identity:
OIDC_ISSUER: "https://keycloak.brand.de/realms/Connector" |
Configuring the OIDC client
After configuring the OIDC client in your SSO provider you must set the OIDC client ID and client secret.
Code Block |
---|
env:
oidc:
clientId: codebeamerClient
clientSecret: e932235d-2349-fd26-bcdb-93hw3f43aab9 |
Note |
---|
The OIDC client MUST fulfill the following requirements:
|
Setting up a connection to the Codebeamer instance
Adapting a Codebeamer instance
There are two URLs that must be set before a integration with the API and UI of Codebeamer can be achieved. The first one is adaptedToolRootUri
and it represents the base URL of your Codebeamer instance. The second one is adaptedToolApiUri
and represents the API URL of Codebeamer. This usually follows the following path formats:
https://<codebeamer instance URL>/api/v3/
https://<codebeamer instance URL>/cb/api/v3/
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
env:
tool:
adaptedToolApiUri: "https://codebeamer.com/api/v3/"
adaptedToolRootUri: "https://codebeamer.com" |
Codebeamer Widget URL
OSLC Connector for Codebeamer comes up with a bundled widget that has to be installed in Codebeamer. The first step to achieve that is to set the widgetUrl - it must be in the format https://<connector base url>/cb
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
env:
tool:
widgetUrl: "<baseUrl>/cb" |
Codebeamer time zone
The Codebeamer time zone must be set in the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer too. To do that use adaptedToolToolTimeZone
. For more references on the Codebeamer tool time zone see the documentation.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
env:
tool:
adaptedToolToolTimeZone: "UTC" |
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
env:
tool:
adaptedToolToolTimeZone: "UTC"
# base64 encoded technical user credentials
# Required when if TRS is enabled
adaptedToolTechnicalUserAuthorizationHeader: ""
widgetUrl: "<baseUrl>/cb"
# If the flag "manualLoginRequired" is set to "true", the plugin will not attempt to automatically login the user.
# This flag should be enabled if many users that do not have access to a third party app connected
# via the OSLC Connector.
manualLoginRequired: "false" |
Install the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer
