This topic is relevant for ALM Synchronizer for Agile Manager only. For details about the NextGen Synchronizer embedded in Agile Manager's configuration area, see NextGen Synchronizer.

Connect to ALM via SSO

Enable connections to ALM using Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication.

Note: Connections via SSO do not support synchronizing entity links. This means, for example, that if you have user stories/requirements linked to each other, those links will not be synchronized with Agile Manager. The entities will remain linked in ALM.

On the Synchronizer server

  1. Disable linked entity synchronization.

    1. Open the server.properties file located in the <Synchronizer installation directory>\dat folder for editing.

    2. Add the following option to the file: disable.sync.entityLink=Y

    3. Save and close the file.

  2. Configure an authentication proxy for Agile Manager. For details, see Configure an authentication proxy.

On the ALM server

  1. Verify that the HP-ALM-SyncServer.exe and the Webgate Customization tool are run by the same Windows user.

  2. Open the Webgate Customization tool.

  3. On both the Web Server Settings tab and the Proxy Settings tab, configure access to ALM over SSO from the Synchronizer server, by defining ALM server and Proxy server credentials.

    For details, see the HP ALM External Authentication Configuration Guide.
