Authorize CA Clarity PPM for VersionOne

Add and authorize CA Clarity PPM as a permitted application for VersionOne. To complete authorization, use an OAuth token generator such as Runscope. Generate the OAuth tokens that you must enter to configure the OAuth settings.

Note: Some of the OAuth tokens that you generate must be saved for later use to configure CA Clarity PPM.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to VersionOne as the new dedicated user responsible for synchronizing data with CA Clarity PPM. If a dedicated user does not exist, log in as the administrator.
  2. Open the <username> menu at the top of the page and click Member Details. For example, open the administrator menu if you logged in as administrator.
  3. Click Permitted Apps.

    The Permitted Application Management page appears.

  4. In a different browser tab, open the OAuth token generator. For example, enter https://www.runscope.com/oauth2_tool to open Runscope.

    Note: A free registration is needed to this site to generate the required tokens.

  5. Copy the Callback URL from the token generator site (for example, https://www.runscope.com/oauth_tool/callback).
  6. In VersionOne, in the Permitted Application Management page, complete the following steps to add and register CA Clarity PPM:
    1. Select Web for Add Application Type.
    2. Enter an alias name for the application that VersionOne identifies (for example, CA Clarity PPM). Use this value later to configure CA Clarity PPM.
    3. Paste the Callback URL that you copied from the token generator in Step 5.
  7. Click Add Application to add CA Clarity PPM to your account as a permitted application. The page automatically populates with the client ID, permitted redirect URI, and other registration details.
  8. Navigate to the token generator (for example, Runscope) and copy the following registration details from the Permitted Application Management page in VersionOne:
  9. Click Generate Token.
  10. In VersionOne, click Allow to generate auth tokens in JSON form. Copy the following JSON tokens from the token generator page (for example, the Runscope page) and paste them into Notepad and save. Use the saved tokens later to complete the remote configuration settings in CA Clarity PPM.
  11. In VersionOne, on the Permitted Application Management page, click the Download JSON link to download the JSON file to your desktop. You can also right-click the link and select Save As. To complete the remote configuration settings in CA Clarity PPM later, use the following tokens from the saved JSON file.
