Usage

To use the WhiteSource plugin, the plugin must be loaded and an instance created before you can configure the plugin integration. You define configuration properties in the user interface or in a JSON file.

Integration type

The WhiteSource plugin supports endpoint integration which is listed in the following table.

Invoking the plugin

To import data from the WhiteSource server, send an HTTP POST request to your endpoint.

Integration

There are two methods to integrate the plugin:

• Using the user interface
• Using a JSON file

Using the user interface

1. From the Plugins page, click Settings > Integrations > Plugins.
2. Under the Action column for the plugin, click Add Integration.
3. On the Add Integration page enter values for the fields used to configure the integration and define communication.
4. Click Save.

Using a JSON file

The JSON file contains the information for creating a value stream and integrating with the WhiteSource server. The following table describes the information for the creating a HCL Accelerate value stream map.

1. From a value stream page, download the value stream map. The value stream map is a JSON file used to define integrations.
2. Edit the JSON file to include the plugin configuration properties.
3. Save and upload the JSON file. This replaces the current JSON file with the new content.
4. View the new integration on the Integrations page.

Configuration Properties

Configuration properties

The following tables describe the properties used to configure the integration. Each table contains the field name when using the user interface and the property name when using a JSON file.

• The General Configuration Properties table describes configuration properties used by all plugin integrations.
• The WhiteSource Configuration Properties table describes the configuration properties that define the connection and communications with the WhiteSource server. When using the JSON method to integrate the plugin these properties are coded within the properties configuration property.

Some properties might not be displayed in the user interface, to see all properties enable the Show Hidden Properties field.

JSON code example

The following sample code can be used as a template to define the integration within the JSON file for a value stream. Copy and paste the template into the JSON file Integration section and make the appropriate changes.

 {
    "type": "ucv-ext-whitesource",
    "tenant_id": "<my-tenant-id>,
    "name": "<integration-name>,
    "properties":{
      "ucvAccessKey": "<my-ucv-user-access-key>,
      "userKey" : "<my-user-key>",
      "productToken" : "<product tokens>",
      "projectName" : "<project names>",
      "fieldMapping" : {"application.name": "image.name", "application.externalId": "image.id", "buildUrl": "image.buildUrl", "environment":"image.environment"}

    }
  }
