Issue/Introduction

This article describes how to set up the calls to generate a token for use in the Rally Adapter for Jira (RAJ) Dashboard Apps.

Environment

Component : Jira Adapter

Resolution

These requests will use the sa user credentials.

First, use the following URL to check if there is already a token generated that you can use, changing the <hostname> in the address to match your hostname or IP address.

Address:

https://<hostname>/rest/abl/admin/v2/apikey:apikeys?sysfilter=equal(name:'Dashboard%20User')

 

If no token is returned with the above request, use a tool like Postman to send a token creation request with the following attributes, changing <hostname> to match your hostname or IP address and changing apikey to match your API key:

Address:

https://<hostname>/rest/abl/admin/v2/apikey:apikeys

Body:

{

"account_url_name": "default",

"project_url_name": "orchestrator",

"name": "Dashboard User",

"apikey": "your-apikey-value",

"is_active": true,

"expiration": null,

"description": "Token used for Rally Dashboard Apps",

"logging": "*=FINE",

"data": "",

"roles": "\"Dashboard User\""

}

Here are the necessary settings within Postman:

 

Once this request has been sent, you may then visit the following address again to view the newly created token, changing the <hostname> to match your hostname or IP address:

https://<hostname>/rest/abl/admin/v2/apikey:apikeys?sysfilter=equal(name:'Dashboard%20User')
