Sonatype CLM - CI User Guide

3.1. Introduction

While the best integration between Sonatype CLM and a CI is through the fully supported add ons (e.g. Hudson/Jenkins), any CI server can easily be connected to your Sonatype CLM policies simply by using the Stand-alone, or CLI, version of the Sonatype CLM Scanner. In this section, we will walk you through the basic setup, and provide a sample syntax that can be used in most scenarios. In general, before you go this route, there are a few things you should make sure you have, including:

A general familiarity with the CLI (you don’t need to be an expert, but basic knowledge helps).
Familiarity with the way your particular CI utilizes builds steps to launch a simple script.
Installed and setup the Sonatype CLM Server
Setup an organization and application
Created or imported a policy for your application, or the organization that contains your application.
