SSO integration for collectors

[BoomaBaskaran]

Hi,

We have Rally which is SSO integrated and this is identity provider initiated. In which case Rally URL would not work due to IDP redirection. How does one generate security token in such scenarios to be used with REST APIs inside collector?

Thanks,
Booma Baskaran.

I have the same issue, can you please let me know, if there is any update.

If I'm understanding the question here, you have SSO login in front of your tools (e.g. Jira) and you want the collector to get past this. The answer will depend on the specific tool.

For example, in the case of the Jira collector, you can generate a token and use that in place of a password. In the case of SonarQube collector, a generated token stands in for the username and no password is required.

Your best bet is to refer to the docs for your product.

@spyoungtech

I'm having this case with rally, is there a way to handle it in rally collector.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with rally. I would suggest referring to the product documentation.

A quick search seems to indicate that an API shouldn't require SAML/SSO auth. Additionally, it seems that you can add exceptions for specific users, say, for example a service account.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of this product can help.
