We have an OSLC client built that utilizes the JazzRootServicesHelper Java classes, provided by IBM for implementing OSLC clients. This had been working perfectly in the past. However, once we configured the ELM applications to utilize your Jazz Authentication Server (JAS) for authentication, the client.formLogin() calls return an error.

I realize that IBM Support does not officially support 3rd part written integrations. However, they do provide the OSLC libraries for customers to utilize. And IBM also provides JAS to be used for authentication.

What we are looking for is assistance on what changes are required to make the following calls work in a JAS enabled ELM deployment:

rootServices = new JazzRootServicesHelper(server,
OSLCConstants.OSLC_CM_V2);
                  
              
                  JazzFormAuthClient client = rootServices.initFormClient(login, password);
                  
                  this.oslcClient = client;
                  
                  //Try to login
                  if (client.formLogin() != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
                        System.out.print(">> login failed.");
                        System.exit(-1);
                  }

IBM provides documentation for implementing an OSLC client. Can you provide updated instructions for getting this to work with JAS please.

Note1: We have other integration code using direct httpClient REST calls and we got those to work switching from form based authentication to basic authentication. Is it possible to do the same thing using the JazzRootServicesHelper class?

Notye2: This issue is blocking our deployment of Multi-Factor Authorization on our production ELM server which is a mandatory GE requirement.
