How to use RTC as a support ticket tool without pre adding every user!
This is how I was able to setup RTC 5.0.2 on WebSphere to allow any user in my authentication source to log in to the dashboard and create a work item. It is painful for first time support users to first need to be imported, assigned a license, and added to a project area before they can submit a support ticket. With this solution, a user can go directly to the support project area on a repository they have never logged in to, and create a work item.
It comes down to 4 configuration settings 1) Set your JazzUsers role mapping in WebSphere to 'all authenticated in application realm' described here: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSAW57_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/ae/usec_tselugrad.html https://jazz.net/forum/questions/208379/can-jazzusers-be-set-to-any-authenticated-user Thanks @dnong 2) Enable 'WS Allow Self Registration' in advanced properties (I did both JTS and CCM) described here: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc/topics/t_users_self_register.html&scope=null Thanks @stuttle33 3) Set a default license under 'License Key Manager' on the JTS described here: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc/topics/tmanagedefaultlicense.html&scope=null Thanks @stuttle33 4) Set Access Control tab to 'Everyone' in the Project Area. There is just one thing I could use some help with. I needed to connect twice for it to work. The first time it says I am not in the repository. The second time just hitting reload a few seconds later, it takes me to the dashboard. This seems like the process of self registration is taking too long. I could not find a value in Advanced Properties that looked like it controls this. Does anyone know if I can change something to address this? |
