The Root Services URL of the Smartfacts OSLC connector can now be found in the Smartfacts tab of the Model Warehouse profile.
Support for Technical User
The smartfacts platform now supports a technical user. The technical user is allowed to get full read access to resources in Smartfacts ( Projects, Models, Model Elements ), indendent of access rights.
However, the authorization for using it, must be gained by Basic Authorization, instead of OAuth2 (OIDC) Authorization which ist enabled by default.
The platform must be started with a JAVA VM option parameter (-D ), where the basic auth value is defined.
For example:
-DTechnicalUserBasicAuth=dGVjaG5pY2FsOnRlY2huaWNhbA==
which is the Base64 encoded value for “technical:technical”
Keep in mind, this features enables user for full access to the model data. Keep the value for this in a safe place to prevent misusage.
Implementation in the deployment
Available since Smartfacts Helm chart version 3.15.0 (Released 2023-01-26).
Auto generated username and password for basic auth api calls
If in the file values.yaml the property global.useBasicAuthForApi is set to true a username and password for basic authentication in API calls to the platform is generated.
The administrator can obtain the generated username and password with the command
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo kubectl get secret smartfacts-api-basic-auth-secret -o 'go-template={{index .data "BASIC_AUTH_API_TOKEN"}}' -n smartfacts | base64 -d; echo "" |
Defining a custom username and password for basic auth api calls
The customer can override the generated username and password in the file “values.yaml” by setting the two properties global.secrets.smartfacts.basicAuthForApi.username and global.secrets.smartfacts.basicAuthForApi.password. If the property global.useBasicAuthForApi is set to false these two properties have no effect.

Link Validity
...
OSLC Links between Jama Connect and modeling tools now support link validity. This means that as soon as a requirements changes the link to a model artifact is set to suspect. It is visible in the Jama Connect plug-in Ui and can be updated to valid or invalid manually.
The hash value of the source artifact, the has value of the target artifact and the link type are the basis for the link validity status. As soon as on of the values changes, the link status is set to suspect. If the change leading to a suspect link is reverted, also the link validity status is reverted back.
