System Verification connectors

A system Verification connector captures general configuration settings that are applied to all SD Elements project Verification connections linked to it.

Security sensitive configurations such as server, username, and password, as well as common settings, are generally set at the system level.

Advantages of the system connector:

  1. Consistency: Issue Tracker connections based on a system connector share the same underlying configuration.

  2. Confidentiality: Project teams can connect to an Issue Tracker without ever knowing the credentials used to connect with the system.

Add/Edit a Verification connector

Add or update a system Verification connector by following the steps below.

Prerequisites:

  1. The user has the permission Global Roles→Integration→Edit verification connections.
