Configuring OSLC integration over SSL

To use an Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) integration with a product that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), import the product’s SSL certificate.

About this task

You can use OSLC to integrate with other products. If the Jazz™ for Service Management Registry server or an OSLC Provider server requires an SSL connection, you must import the SSL certificate from that server into your Control Desk server's truststore. Otherwise, you might see SSLHandshakeException or CertPathBuilderException errors when you attempt to use the OSLC integration.
