We configured Jazz Team Server (JTS) to communicate with different computer running Rational Functional Tester (RFT). In attempting to execute RFT Scripts from QM when Start Adapter is used in starting RFT Adapter we are consistently seeing 'Unable to register the adapter with RQM'. I have searched online for various solutions and made sure 'Register Tool Adapter' Permission is enabled for Everyone (also tried enabling for Team Member/Contributor). We enabled logging and discovered the root cause seems to be that RFT begins to use 'localhost' during Start Adapter instead of the configured Server URL. The log shows initially the communication between Server and Adapter proceeds without issues. But after obtaining UUID below exchange occurs. We tried using numeric IP Address and while that lead to a different dialogue between Server and Adapter ultimately Start Adapter fails with same message. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

BTW RFT Adapter (8.6) logging can be enabled using :
