Prerequisites

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

• server certificates for your https://genoslc-codebeamer.<your domain> are present. The certificates must fullfill the requirements statet 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-<your tool>.<your domain>

• your genoslc deployment can reach the target tool server

Prepare the Deployment

Add library Repository for the OSLC Connector for Codebeamer

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.

sudo helm repo add library https://repo.secure.mid.de/chartrepo/library --username <USERNAME> --password <PASSWORD>

sudo helm repo update

Customize Values File

• Change to your user's home directory on the server and create a new text file values-genoslc-codebeamer.yaml with the following content:

  global:
    domain: "<your-domain>"
    instance: "genoslc v2"
    registry: "repo.mid.de"
    repologin: "<login provided by MID>"
    cert:
      # this is a letsencrypt certificate for genoslc-cb-mercedes.gopoc.dev.smartfacts.com, since the Codebeamer instance is not in our VPN
      crtFullChain: "<FULL-CHAIN-CERT-BASE64>"
      key: "<CERT-KEY-BASE64>"
    oidc:
      clientId: "<OIDC client ID>"
      clientSecret: "<OIDC client secret>"
    hosts:
      genoslc:
        subdomain: "<subdomain where the application is accessible>"
    secrets:
      oauth2:
        wellknown: "</.well-known/openid-configuration URL>"
    identity:
      OIDC_ISSUER: "<OIDC issuer URL>"
  ingress:
    enabled: true
    # if you use nginx as ingress controller please uncomment in this line:
    #ingressClassType: "nginx"
  env:
    authorizationUri: "<OIDC authorization URL"
    tokenUri: "<OIDC token URL>"
    userInfoUri: "<OIDC user info URL>"
    allowedCorsOrigins: "<URLs of apps that can make REST requests to the OSLC Connector"
    globalConfigurationProvider: "<URL of the Global Configuration provider>" # e.g. https://ibm-elm:9443/gc
    linkValidityProvider: "<URL of the Link Validity provider>" # e.g. https://ibm-elm:9443/jts
    trsEnabled: false # Set to true if you use Smartfacts as data source for a link index
    tool:
      type: "codebeamer"
      adaptedToolApiUri: "<URL of the Codebeamer instance>"
      adaptedToolRootUri: "<URL of the Codebeamer API>" # usually the same as the adaptedToolApiUri
      adaptedToolTechnicalUserAuthorizationHeader: "Basic <base64 encoded credentials>"
    configuration:
      # Give a list of up to 5 usernames of users which will have the administration right to change settings in Smartfacts.
      # At leas one administrator user must be stated here.
      administrators: 
        - <administrator1> # replace this value with the username of the person who should configure the oauth10a information for the OSLC Connector for Smartfacts
      # key used to encrypt the oauth10a configuration data
      oauth10aEncryptionKey: "" # define the key which is used to encrypt the oauth10a informatin in the database
  
  mongodb:
    enabled: true
  certtool:
    enabled: true
