4.3. Configuring the Guvnor Connection Wizard

  1. Default values appear in the Location, Port and Repository fields. You can edit these fields using their corresponding text boxes.
  2. To input a Guvnor repository URL into the respective fields, drag and drop it into the Location field.

    Important

    When using Eclipse tooling, you will not be able to access Guvnor data if this Guvnor is deployed on a secured HTTP (HTTPS).
  3. The EGT calls the Guvnor repository at various times, such as when it is determining if any resource updates are available. If you use session authentication, the authentication dialog will appear at different times during the Eclipse workbench session, depending on what actions you take. We recommend saving the authentication information in the Eclipse key-ring.
    Click on save username and password to save your details into the Eclipse workbench's key-ring file.

    Note

    If the authentication information is not stored in the key-ring, then the EGT uses a session authentication. This means that the credentials supplied are only used during the lifetime of the Eclipse workbench instance.

    Note

    If an authentication failure error occurs, you can retry the same operation and supply different authentication information.

    Note

    The Eclipse key-ring file is distinct from key-ring files found in some platforms such as Mac OS X and many forms of Linux. Thus, sometimes if you access a Guvnor repository outside the EGT, the key-ring files might become outdated, and you will be unexpectedly prompted for your credentials in Eclipse. This is nuisance, but in this case you can simply re-enter the appropriate username and password.
