authentication problem when using RQMUrlUtility

I tried to use RQMUrlUtility to GET a list of test cases, but seems it couldn't pass authentication. I provided my user name and password correctly in command line argument, but all I got was the HTML code from user login page. Could anyone help me to solve this problem?

I downloaded RQMUrlUtility 3.0.1 and RQM version is also 3.0.1

The command I issued is:

java -jar RQMUrlUtility.jar -command GET -user bobwang@ca.ibm.com -password xxxxxxxx -context qm -filepath d:\\listc.xml -url https://ecdclm.ottawa.ibm.com:9445/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/WebSphere+Commerce+(Quality+Management)/testcase

the standard output is:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<<<<<RQMUrlUtility>>>>>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

looks like everything is fine except "INFO: Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled", not sure if this is an issue.

And when I opened file d:\listc.xml, I found all I get was the HTML file from the user login page.

I had the same problem. Does RQMURlUtility support only basic authentication ?

Can you log into RQM with the same username/password? Does your test case have any requirements?

Note, "INFO: Redirect requested but followRedirects is disabled" is not an error/warning, but an informational message that the HTTP client has disabled followRedirects, which should not be an issue.

Yes, form-based authentication.

See the questions in the previous post.

Yes, I can login with the same id (my intranet id) and password in UI without any problem. I don't think the test cases have any requirements.

Can you log into the UI and use https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMUsingPoster to GET the following URL:

https://ecdclm.ottawa.ibm.com:9445/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/WebSphere+Commerce+(Quality+Management)/testcase?abbreviate=false&calmlinks=true

See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Read for more details (including headers/etc.).

Also, check the server logs for any errors (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Troubleshooting).

If you want to add me (paules@ca.ibm.com) as a user, I can try myself.

Yes, I can manually log into the UI and then use Poster to GET the feed.

However, if I logout RQM and input the same user and password in Poster's User Auth form, I got exactly the same problem - get HTML code for login page.

I tried to look at the system log in https://ecdclm.ottawa.ibm.com:9445/qm/service/com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.IFeedService?category=SystemLog, but it is empty. I guess I have to ask the admin to enable the logs for me.

I guess it is just an authentication problem, do you have any idea what might caused it?

Bob, this appears to be a defect with the URL Utility. Note, authentication using Poster does not always work as expected with RQM.

Before opening a defect (https://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Quality%20Manager#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.newWorkItem - include an custom configuration to the RQM install), can you try the RQM 3.0.1.1 version of the RQM Utility (contains several fixes):

https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-quality-manager/releases/3.0.1.1?p=allDownloads

As a work-around, please use Poster.

I would be interested in getting access to the machine to debug further.

Thanks Paul, I tried the new version (3.0.1.1) of the RQM Utility, and now it works fine.

I tried this and I get

<body>
<noscript><div>Javascript is either disabled or not available in your Browser</div></noscript>
<div>Loading...</div>
<div></div>

<script>
djConfig = {
isDebug: false,
usePlainJson: true,
baseUrl: "/jazz/web/dojo/",
locale: "en-us",
localizationComplete: true
};
/*null*/
net = {jazz: {ajax: {}}};
net.jazz.ajax._contextRoot = "/jazz";
net.jazz.ajax._webuiPrefix = "/web/";
</script>

<script></script>


<script>
/* <CDATA> */
</script>

<script>
/* <CDATA> */
</script>
</body>

Has this been re-introduced or is this Javascript error a problem that is fixed by something else - because I get the same error when I use curl.
