Adding a Repository
In order to create digital thread relations between artifacts in various repositories, a user must first add and connect to those repositories using the Repository Manager. To connect to a repository, right-click on the appropriate Repository type in the Repository Manager tab and select Add, as shown in the figure below.
Generally for each repository, except the local file system repository, you will need to fill out the following information:
Repository Name: Unique name (alias) assigned to a repository by the user.Â
URL: URL to access the repository.
Check with the repository administrator about links, firewalls, and other issues that may affect access.
The user must already have credentials to access the desired repository, with a username and password assigned by the repository administrator.
The proper scheme must be used, http or https, and the port may need to be included in the URL.
User: Username to access the repository
Password: Password to access the repository.
Some repository types support different authentication protocols, e.g. Basic, OAuth2. For those repository types, you will need to select a specific authentication protocol and provide information specific to that protocol.
