Use the bridgeAuthentication command line tool to set the credentials used to connect to Agile Manager.

The credentials consist of a client ID and secret generated by Agile Manager. To obtain a client ID and secret, add an Integration Bridge client on the Integrations > API configuration page.

Note: If you are not a Site Administrator on your Agile Manager system, have your administrator add the Integration Bridge client and provide you with the generated client ID and secret .

Use this tool in the following cases:

  • You want to use credentials other than the ones you entered when you first installed the Integration Bridge.

  • You need to update your bridge so that it connects to Agile Manager using OAuth authentication. The Integration Bridge bridge now uses a client ID and secret to connect to Agile Manager instead of Agile Manager user credentials.
